The UFT High School Division and the AFL-CIO New York City Central Labor Council hosted the fourth annual Future in Focus career fair at UFT headquarters in Manhattan on Oct. 31 to help students at New York City’s public high schools learn the benefits of unionized careers.

Nearly 600 Manhattan parents, grandparents, guardians and education activists came to UFT headquarters for the 10th annual UFT Manhattan Parent Conference to learn about college, bullying, special education and other topics of interest to public school parents.

UFT members joined students, family members and other educators on Oct. 13 to participate in the United Way’s March United for Public Schools, a walk across the Brooklyn Bridge to demonstrate the importance of public education and raise money for the United Way’s long-term public education programs. The walk led marchers to the “Future Festival,” a children’s learning fair at Brooklyn Borough Hall.

The UFT collaborates with thousands of parents and parent organizations citywide to help ensure that their children and all New York City students feel welcome and have access to the high-quality education they deserve.

Parents and guardians of New York City public school students and other public education supporters are invited to join the UFT's mailing list and receive newsletters with relevant information and news.
