She has been with the nonprofit for the last seven years and has also had a lifetime of experience uplifting youth, education and the community in New York City. She currently leads HCC’s education and mentoring programs serving youth and adults.
Hurley, 58, immigrated from Trinidad to Brooklyn with her family when she was young. She lived on Bergen Street and was inspired by her mother’s community work to get more involved, she said. Her mother founded the now landmarked Bergen Street Community Garden. Once the family started planning programs for the garden, Hurley said she caught the community service bug early.
HCC runs several community programs focused on youth and business development. Arches helps “justice involved youth,” or adolescents who may have had run-ins with the law. HCC’s Arches provides mentorships and support, including a GED program, so that kids don’t go back into the system, she said. HCC participates in the city’s Summer Rising program, after school programs during the regular school year, and runs STEM at 3 p.m. to teach young children important math and science and tech skills.
