Henry Street Settlement’s Workforce Development program is in the process of starting a “Technology Lending Program,” to lend clients a laptop or tablet for a period of time, to effectively search and apply for employment opportunities. We are currently looking for an expert to support us in creating and or finding a library system that helps our staff keep track of our technology inventory, as items are loaned out and returned.
The end result would be a comprehensive document that compares different lending software programs. This document and knowledge will help our program staff to choose a software or system that best fits their needs for Henry Street's new technology lending program.
More information about our mission and work can be found at www.henrystreet.org. The volunteer will be supported by Henry Street’s Volunteer team, and their primary contacts will be Lianne DiFabbio, Associate Director of Institutional Partnerships and Deanna Sorge, Volunteer Coordinator; the volunteer will also work closely with Henry Street’s Workforce Development program staff. The volunteer will have access to several Henry Street databases, including our Google Drive, and some client data.

Henry Street Settlement
For 128 years, Henry Street has been dedicated to breaking the cycle of intergenerational poverty. Our target population includes underserved families, youth, and individuals from across New York City, with a focus on our Lower East Side community. Economic inequality in our neighborhood has risen sharply in recent years - we are second out of 59 NYC community districts for level of income disparity. Our neighbors face profound challenges, including social isolation; lack of housing and food; unemployment; lack of health care; undertreated and untreated medical and psychological disorders; poor educational achievement; and insufficient access to affordable arts experiences.
