My Project

Our school for young men was founded with the singular purpose to be a beacon of hope and transformation during a period of dismal graduation rates and disproportionate incarceration rates among young men of color across all NYC boroughs. As Postsecondary Success Manager, much of what I do is help young Black and Brown men dream. I help Eagle students explore or discover their passion, and in turn, turn that passion into a profession. My work with students includes everything from creating and executing plans for life after high school to supporting our alumni once they've made a decision of what those next steps are.

As the college admissions and/or job application process is now done virtually, access to up to date technology eliminates a barrier to basic vocational and academic opportunities.

While the use of a cellular phone may be helpful in a pinch, your gift will enable our students to master the technical skills of using a computer and rely less on their cellular phone for everything. By providing additional technology, you ensure that students have the much-needed tools they need to succeed and be competitive.
