So many reasons to love SparkYouth NYC! A funder of Inspiring Minds NYC for the last 3 years, I really love how they allow us to honor one student from our organizations at their gala each year. This year, we were excited to shine the spotlight on an incredible gem: Miniya Turton! At just 17, Miniya launched "Internal Interior Design," a transformative program that empowers teens to visualize & step into their authentic selves. Through vision mapping and action plans, she's been helping her peers design who they want to be through our Summer program and the city-wide Young Women’s Empowerment program in partnership with the Office of Safety & Youth Development. We couldn’t be more proud as she was honored at the gala! Lastly, this marks our final year as a grantee with Spark. Grateful for the invaluable support from Suzy Myers Jackson, Kelley Cunningham and Rachael Abbick through the highs and lows of building Inspiring Minds NYC. The past 3 years have been a journey of growth, and their assistance has made all the difference. Thank you for believing in us! 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
