What a day at our Codebotics Showcase!

Students put their creativity and skills on display with LEGO Spike Prime robots, PC builders raced against the clock in an exciting PC-building relay, and our young engineers showcased the tools and props they designed for robot obstacle courses.

A huge thank you to all the families, friends, and supporters who came out to cheer them on!

Interested in joining the next cycle? Fall program registration opens in August. Stay tuned!

Our Renaissance Youth Center students over at PS 146 took center stage with their incredible performance of Annie!

Over the past few months, these young performers have dedicated countless hours to rehearsing, building confidence, and developing their talents. Their hard work, passion, and creativity truly shined on stage, making the show a memorable experience for everyone in attendance.

A special thank you to City Council Member Justin Sanchez for joining us and showing his support for our youth and arts programs. Together, we're helping the next generation discover their voices and reach their full potential!

For over 25 years, Renaissance Youth Center has been a cornerstone of the Bronx, providing youth with STEM education, arts programs, mentorship, leadership development, meals, and a safe space after school.

Following the decision by DYCD not to renew funding, these critical programs are now at risk. In this video, hear from parents, community leaders, staff, and supporters about the impact RYC has had on thousands of young people and why these opportunities must continue.

Watch, share, and help us amplify the voices of Bronx youth and families.

For over 25 years, Renaissance Youth Center has been a safe place for Bronx youth, providing STEM, music, mentorship, meals, and life-changing opportunities.

Now, our students are at risk of losing these critical after-school programs after DYCD decided not to renew our funding.

On Monday, we held a press conference to break the news to all of our parents and families.

This is bigger than a contract. It’s about protecting a safe space for our children and families.

Help us raise awareness by using and sharing the hashtags below on all platforms:
