This Saturday, October 4th, Midnight Madness returns to the streets of New York City. Teams of six will race through an all-night gauntlet of puzzles, putting their wits to the test against some of the city’s sharpest minds, all while raising money for Good Shepherd Services. GGC is thrilled to be a part of the team putting on this incredible event and we can’t wait to share this experience with everyone!

We completed the AI for Nonprofits Sprint, along with nearly 140 other organizations asking the same questions we were: How do we use #AI tools responsibly? We're creating policies, building our understanding, and sharing what actually works to benefit the #nonprofit sector nationwide. Our team contributed to gathering insights from 4,000+ nonprofit staff. This initiative represents our #commitment to #innovation in service of our mission. We're approaching these tools with intention, ensuring they strengthen our capacity for the human-centered work we do. Thank you to our Chief of Staff, Alexandra Cheriyan, for representing GSS and leading this work for our organization!

Kicking off the week with a throwback to one of my favorite projects! I had the opportunity to lead the BK Nets’ Legacy Project, renovating the fitness room at Good Shepherd Services' Miccio Community Center in Red Hook after it was damaged by Hurricane Ida. We transformed the space with: 💪 Brand-new fitness equipment 🎨 Installation of murals celebrating the community 🙌 A safe, welcoming hub serving hundreds of youth and families every week I am now on the lookout for my next purpose driven role. Let’s connect if you’re building something impactful! #MondayMotivation #CommunityImpact #BrooklynNets #OpenToWork #YouthDevelopment #SocialImpact #Partnerships Before and after photos below CC: Roland Knight

Thank you to UBS for including Good Shepherd Services in your Intern Day of Service! We're grateful for the 260+ safety kits assembled for youth experiencing homelessness. These kits provide essential items that help young people stay safe and meet their basic needs during one of the most challenging times in their lives. Thank you to Jersey Cares for coordinating this event. #commitment #responsiveness #housing
Last week we hosted our annual Intern Day of Service introducing more than 260 summer interns in our New York and Weehawken offices to our firm’s culture of volunteerism. During the event, interns learned about the complex issue of housing insecurity many young adults face, and assembled more than 260 safety kits packed with essential items that will be distributed to youth experiencing homelessness served by local nonprofits York Street Project and Good Shepherd Services . A special thank you to Brian Hull, Executive Vice Chairman, Americas for welcoming the interns and highlighting the importance of philanthropy and community service to drive meaningful change, and to our longstanding partner Jersey Cares for coordinating this special event. We look forward to many more moments of impact with interns this summer! #shareUBS Learn more about our initiatives https://from.ubs/6041ShRul

Thank you to one of our newest board members, Joe Giambona, for spreading the word about our backpack drive! A backpack may seem like a small thing, but for a student, it’s a launchpad. It carries supplies, but also dignity, focus, and the tools to take on the new school year with confidence. We’ll be collecting throughout the summer, and we welcome everyone—whether you're an individual or a corporation—to get involved. Visit this link to donate today! https://lnkd.in/eq86_Xbc #backtoschool #responsiveness #backpackdrive #education
Help Students Start Strong This Fall! 🎒📚✏️ As the school year winds down, it's already time to look ahead and ensure every student is prepared for what's next. A core part of our mission Good Shepherd Services is to empower the next generation. It's why I'm personally invested in our annual backpack drive and encourage my network to contribute. For many families, the cost of school supplies can be a significant burden. Our drive aims to alleviate that stress by providing essential backpacks filled with supplies to students in need, giving them a confident start to the school year. Every donation, no matter the size, makes a real difference in a child's life. It's more than just a backpack; it's a symbol of hope, opportunity, and the knowledge that their community believes in them. What was one school supply that made a big difference for you as a student? Share in the comments!! To contribute and help us empower the next generation, the donation link is in the first comment below! #BackpackDrive #GoodShepherdServices #CommunitySupport #EducationMatters #GiveBack Eric Douglas Michelle Yanche
