🎉 This week, we had the honor of joining Zone 126 for their College & Career Speed Chat 'n' Chew Event at Long Island City High School! These monthly gatherings create meaningful opportunities for students to connect with community members over lunch, gaining valuable networking skills and career insights. In celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month, professionals of Hispanic and Latine descent—from the Fund for the City of New York, NYPD Community Affairs, NYPD Housing Bureau, the Queens District Attorney's Office, and more—came together to speak on their experiences and inspire the next generation. Our own Program Manager, Cesar Ventura Tapia, was excited to share his journey through college and career with the students. 👏👏👏 Let's give a round of applause to Dr Anju J. Rupchandani and Zone126 for organizing such a powerful event! It’s amazing to see young people find inspiration in professionals who represent their communities and show them what’s possible.

Last week, we were deeply inspired by Keshad Adeniyi's wisdom and artistic brilliance during his moving presentation of "I mean, look what we are up against." His life story and intellect left a lasting impression on all of us. Ife reminded us: "What I see in our young people is that they have a voice that is often muted. exalt is one of the few places where their voices are amplified." We are proud to stand alongside him, working every day to elevate the experiences of our youth and ensure their voices are heard. 🙌 #YouthEmpowerment #AmplifyingVoices #ArtAndChange #NonprofitImpact #ExaltYouth
