COUNCIL MEMBER CHAIM DEUTSCH INVESTS IN HEALTH & WELLNESS FOR SENIORS AT YOUNG ISRAEL SENIOR SERVICES
Midwood, NY, December 17, 2014 – In partnership with Council Member Chaim Deutsch, the Nonprofit HelpDesk will be offering a no-cost workshop, “Accessing Your Inner Genius,” to empower the seniors at Young Israel Senior Services of Midwood, NY. This workshop will be held on Wednesday, December 24th at the Young Israel Senior Services, 1694 Ocean Avenue, in Brooklyn from 11:00am – 12:00pm.
The NonProfit HelpDesk (NPHD,) a division of the Jewish Community Council of Greater Coney Island, customizes training workshops for service and nonprofit organizations where there is a need to be filled in a community.
“We were in touch with Chaim Deutsch’s office and offered training workshops at no-cost in order to provide skills and knowledge for organizations that may not otherwise have the resources to invest in such programs,” says Chaya Abelsky, Director of the NonProfit HelpDesk.
“Our courses are extremely practical as well as innovative,” says Chaya, “participants get knowledge that can be applied immediately in their personal and professional lives. The course we are offering at YISS, Accessing Your Inner Genius is aimed to give seniors more confidence in decision making, nourish their creativity as well actualize hidden skills and talents.”
NPHD’s goal is to continue providing no-cost workshops in partnering with Chaim Deutsch office to further serve the community.
NPHD workshops are facilitated by experts in their field. Accessing Your Inner Genius will be facilitated by Esther Russell, MA – a NPHD trainer who specializes in innovation, creativity and positive psychology as it relates to personal and professional growth.

About the NonProfit HelpDesk
The NonProfit HelpDesk (NPHD) was created in 1992 at the urging of the commissioner of the NYC Department of Youth and Community Development, who saw the need for technical assistance to strengthen nonprofit organizations throughout New York City. We are a project of the Jewish Community Council of Greater Coney Island.
We help build capacity at the community-based nonprofit organizations that are a vital part of the fabric of life in New York City communities. These organizations provide youth services, cooked meals, services for the homeless, local development and cultural celebration, as well as many other services. As our social safety net frays, these groups can make a critical difference in the quality of life for neighborhood residents.
The NPHD strengthens these organizations by providing services, education and resources in financial management, technology and in the development of leadership, organizations and programs. Our low-cost, high-quality support helps our clients stabilize their operations, and provide more and better services. We are frequently able to offer our services free of charge.
As part of a social service agency, the NonProfit HelpDesk uses our social service background to deliver holistic support with understanding, relevance and innovation.
The NonProfit HelpDesk has helped more than 2500 NYC nonprofits to automate their fiscal, administrative and programmatic operations, expand their management capacities, boost staff efficiency and confidence and ultimately improve service delivery to constituents.
