Color, culture, and community all in one place 🎉🌮💃

Our DYCD Cornerstone program at Boston Secor was full of joy as our young people came together to celebrate Cinco de Mayo! From vibrant crafts and music to dancing, fresh haircuts, and free books, every moment was about creating a space where youth feel seen, supported, and celebrated.

It’s more than just a celebration, it’s about building community, uplifting culture, and making sure every child has a place to belong ❤️

Yesterday was more than just a ride. Roads to Success TD Bike tour charity riders showed up with purpose, cycling through not just for the miles, but for the mission. Every turn of the wheel helped shine a light on the life-changing work of Roads to Success and brought us closer to creating brighter futures for the youth we serve.
Because of their commitment, passion, and grit, we didn’t just raise awareness, we raised critical funds that will directly support our programs and the young people who rely on them.
To our riders: thank you for showing what it means to move a mission forward.

What does a day of curiosity, innovation, and opportunity look like?
At the Roads to Success STEM Fair, it looked like 250+ NYC youth engaging in hands-on workshops, exploring new ideas, and connecting learning to real-world possibilities.
As we celebrate 25 years of empowering young people, this day was a powerful reminder of what’s possible when curiosity meets opportunity. Our STEM Fair is about more than hands-on learning, it’s about helping youth see themselves as future innovators and leaders.
From interactive sessions to inspiring moments led by industry professionals, the day was filled with discovery, creativity, and growth, opening doors to pathways that can shape a lifetime.
A heartfelt thank you to AT&T for their generous support as our premier sponsor. As John Emra, President of AT&T Northeast, shared: “At AT&T, we’re committed to helping ensure that every community can thrive in the digital age. Access to connectivity, devices, and digital education is vital so that students of all ages can take full advantage of technology and put their imaginations to work. We’re proud to collaborate with dedicated organizations like Roads to Success. Together, we can bring real opportunities and effective resources to New York City youth.”
Through partnerships like this, including access to AT&T’s Achievery platform that helps students explore career paths and enhance their digital literacy skills,we’re not just creating events, we’re building bridges to the future.
Here’s to building confidence, sparking curiosity, and creating pathways to the future, together. 💛

Roads to Success Women’s Empowerment Brunch was a morning we won’t soon forget.
Over 60 women leaders gathered to celebrate 25 years of Roads to Success, and to honor three extraordinary women whose leadership is transforming New York City:
Deputy Speaker Councilmember Nantasha Williams received the Trailblazer Leadership Award for her unwavering commitment to advancing equity, transparency, and opportunity through public service
Simone A. Jones received the Visionary Changemaker Award for embedding equity into systems and shaping institutional change as Deputy Chief of Staff and Chief Equity Officer at the NYC Council
Council Member Elsie Encarnación received the Civic Impact Award for her deep-rooted dedication to East Harlem and relentless advocacy for education, housing, and economic opportunity
The morning also featured a powerful conversation between April Hernandez Castillo and our CAO Chrissy Andre, where April shared her amazingly inspiring journey from her memoir Embracing Me.
Grateful to our Board members Natalie Cuchel, Allie O’Shea, and Larry Hackett for joining us, and to our incredible RTS team who made this event a beautiful reflection of community, purpose, and connection.

Deep roots in a community often shape the most meaningful public service.
At the 3rd Annual Women’s Empowerment Brunch, Roads to Success is proud to recognize Council Member Elsie Encarnación with the Civic Impact Award.
A lifelong East Harlem resident and proud product of District 4 public schools, Council Member Encarnación’s leadership is deeply rooted in the community she represents. The daughter of a public school educator, she has spent more than a decade advancing initiatives that strengthen opportunity for New York City families.

Her leadership reflects a belief that public service is most powerful when it centers community voices and creates pathways for families to thrive.
We are honored to celebrate Council Member Encarnación and the impact she continues to make in East Harlem and across New York City.
