Where There’s a Y There’s a Way with Obba Babatunde

This program was previously recorded before the COVID-19 Pandemic and will re-cablecast as a public service announcement for the community.

Tune in as we spend the day at the Jamaica YMCA on 89-25 Parsons Boulevard in Jamaica, Queens, New York, for their forum to inform the public about the changes that are taking place in the community. Topics include a presentation about the revitalization of Downtown Jamaica, which includes the construction of affordable housing units.
Jamaica YMCA’s Executive Director, Cedric Dew, will also shed light on the YMCA’s Scholars in Industry program. This program will provide mentors to students of the community which allows them to learn about different career paths while gaining valuable life skills. There will also be a special presentation by Emmy Award winner Obba Babatunde.
