Empowerment: Welcome

We aim to help water the seeds of every underserved community in New York, because growth is success, and success is empowering.

Empowerment: Text

Through mentorship, or simply exposure to successful people that look like us in roles that don’t necessarily exist in the neighborhoods we’re from.
