Thank you Capital One and Robinhood!
At a recent fireside chat hosted by Capital One, Robin Hood CEO Richard Buery joined Neal Blinde, President of Commercial Banking at Capital One, for a powerful conversation on the future of poverty-fighting in New York City. Together, they discussed Robin Hood’s critical work, how AI is shaping our strategy, and the evolving political landscape that impacts our mission. One key highlight? Our growing partnership with Capital One. Over the past seven years, we've built a strong collaboration, and this past year, we took it even further with a first-of-its-kind place-based investment in the Bronx. This innovative approach focuses on workforce development and college access for young adults—an essential step in creating sustainable pathways out of poverty. Capital One employees also stepped up by volunteering to assemble back-to-school kits for our community partner, BronxWorks. This hands-on support will ensure students in the Bronx start the school year ready to succeed. We’re just getting started. As Rich said, “Our partnership is off to a great start, but the challenges we are taking on together will require longer-term commitments.” Thank you, Capital One, for being a vital partner in our work to make New York City an engine of opportunity for all! #PartnershipsFightPoverty

For many BronxWorks staff, their drive and passion for their work at BronxWorks comes from lived experiences and love for their community. Eliana De Los Santos is a perfect example of that, participating in the Summer Youth Employment Program (SYEP) as a teen and now working as Assistant Program Director for Youth Workforce Programs at BronxWorks. Eliana has been working at BronxWorks for over three years, but her career working in Youth Workforce initiatives spans over a decade. Learn more about Eliana and everything else happening at BronxWorks in our August 2024 Newsletter at https://lnkd.in/gWb8Gu7H
