One Night. One Community. One Investment in the Next Generation!

We are excited to invite you to the Street Smartz to Success Gala: A Street Smartz Legacy Night!

On December 13th, we are bringing our community together for an evening of celebration, connection, and purpose.

This night is about more than a fundraiser. It's about celebrating the young men we serve, sharing the impact of Street Smartz, recognizing the village that continues to support our mission, and inviting others to be part of the journey ahead.

Throughout the evening, you'll hear directly from our young men, enjoy meaningful conversations through Who Is Responsible for the Dream? and Voices of the Village, and get a glimpse of our vision for 2027.

We'll also have great music by DJ Play Dat, a Caribbean buffet, and an opportunity to connect with people who believe in investing in our youth.

Mock interviews. Career exploration. College applications. Confidence building.

This summer, our New Gen students took important steps toward their futures through a mock interview workshop and college & career fair hosted in partnership with Street Smartz Over Safety.

Students sharpened their communication skills, practiced interviewing with local professionals, received personalized feedback, and connected with college recruiters and community organizations eager to help them succeed.

Most importantly, they gained something that can't be taught in a textbook: confidence in themselves and their potential.

Thank you to Street Smartz Over Safety, HUAC of Richmond, Kappa Alpha Psi, and all of our community partners for investing your time, knowledge, and encouragement in the next generation of leaders.
