Janice Lee JANICE LEE & STUART SHAPIRO SUPPORTERS and Stuart Shapiro have firsthand experience as New Yorkers. They’ve also had a close up view of the resiliency of people and neighborhoods, thanks to their three decades of involvement with University Settlement.

Janice served on the Board of Directors for many years, including as Board President through the 80s and 90s. Now she’s proud to serve on the Honorary Board, and both she and Stuart are active supporters of our work. “When I was little, I was raised to believe in service. It wasn’t something you discussed, you just took care of others. And University Settlement embodies that value, even as our society’s values change,” Janice explains. As longtime residents of the city, they’ve seen the community evolve — and shared the concern many have as the Lower East Side rapidly gentrifies. Janice appreciates that University Settlement faces this issue head on, and she proudly recalls the fight to open the Houston Street Center. “Decades of work went into making sure that an affordable community resource would be there. Staking out a place in that landscape was tenacious and powerful. Every time I walk through Chinatown, I’m proud that we’re there.” What speaks most to Janice, though, is the organization’s ability to adapt with its participants while remaining a steady force of change. “It can be easy to overlook UNIVERSITY SETTLEMENT HAS people who are going through major A MODEL THAT IS EXEMPLARY transitions in life, people who are just trying FOR OTHERS, ESPECIALLY AS THE to get their feet on the ground and make their way. But to know that University ORGANIZATION EXPANDS ITS WORK Settlement is there for them is truly IN SMART AND VALUABLE WAYS. meaningful to me.” A REVOLUTIONARY APPROACH OF WORKING WITH FAMILIES
