What are the responsibilities and job description for the Data/Administrative Clerk - College Passport position at University Settlement Society of New York?
University Settlement partners with 40,000 New Yorkers in Lower Manhattan and Brooklyn every year to build on our collective strengths as we achieve healthy, stable, and remarkable lives. For nearly 140 years, we’ve fought poverty and systemic inequality by building highly effective social services in collaboration with our neighbors. Established in 1886 as the first Settlement House in the United States, we bring the values of that movement into the 21st century by meeting New Yorkers where they live, listening deeply to all perspectives, and creating space for responsive cooperation.
Joining with our neighbors to make stable foundations where people of all ages can grow and pursue their dreams, we build community strength. We infuse a commitment to civic engagement, equality, and communal action into each of our programs, which include early childhood education, youth development, healthy aging, mental health and wellness, English classes for adult immigrants, community centers, and the arts.
The goal of the University Settlement College Passport program is to support young people in completing secondary education and successfully transitioning into post-secondary education and employment. The program is designed to help young people, who are in school and out-of-school and out-of work, to assess, set, and obtain their educational and career goals.
