"It was an awesome, pride-inducing experience both as a representative of #NYSCB and also as a person of Dominican descent." ~Luis Machuca, Vocational Rehabilitation Counselor Thank you Luis for joining Governor Kathy Hochul to represent #NYSOCFS in the NYC Dominican Day Parade!
This summer, our free Learn-to-Swim lessons made a big splash 🏊♀️ By tripling the number of classes offered at NY State Parks as part of our historic NY SWIMS initiative, more than 2,000 swimmers were able to learn how to stay safe in the water!
Check out this #NYSCB success story!🙌🏽 Nisha Falcigno, a participant in Independent Living Services for Older Individuals Who Are Blind, shared how the program and VISIONS/Services for the Blind & Visually Impaired training helped her navigate everyday life when she lost her vision. #NYSOCFS 🔗sites.ed.gov/osers/2024/08/…
#NYSOCFS joined partners from NYSOPDV, NYS Division of Criminal Justice Services, and New York State Office of Victim Services for the Gender-based Violence Policy Listening Session to engage with members of the community and address ways to better serve survivors of domestic and gender-based violence.
It was a great day at the Great New York State Fair! Commissioner Harris-Madden and other leaders joined Governor Kathy Hochul yesterday for Women's Day to celebrate the achievements of females statewide. We are committed to promoting equality and a brighter future for #NewYorkers.
