Gabrielle Braham Gabrielle Braham’s journey exemplifies the transformative impact of TLNYC. Initially, Gabby was reluctant to participate, struggling in group settings and hesitant to engage. However, through consistent one-on-one meetings with Christina, a TLNYC intern, Gabby began to trust the process and open up. With our Youth Advocate, Christina’s guidance and support, Gabby became a consistent participant in our after-school academic program, social outings, and our end-of-year celebration. As she built her confidence, Gabby achieved significant academic progress in her fourth marking period, raising her grades by 9 points in Math, 8 points in Science, and 15 points in English.
