Access to higher education and economic opportunity should never be determined by one’s income, race, gender, ethnicity, or zip code. I am proud of the critical support @NYCKidsRISE is providing for the next generation of Bronxites. nyckidsrise.org/news/2024-ny…

This #GivingTuesday, we’re looking to raise $6K to create two additional internship opportunities for our alumni this summer. Any amount will help this expansion create trajectory-defining work experience, which wouldn’t exist without your support. Donate at the link in our bio!
