At 13, I was placed in the 6th grade, felt out of place, and lacked confidence.
Thanks to the program, I finished with an 85 GPA and improved to 95. I’m now a member of the Junior National Honor Society, a leader among my peers, and have already passed two New York State Regents exams. Tomorrow’s Leaders NYC changed my life and gave me the confidence to succeed."*
— Jason B., Program Participant John Smith “ *"Before joining Tomorrow’s Leaders NYC, I was a 15-year-old 8th grader battling mental health challenges. I’d never had a GPA over 70 and seriously thought about dropping out of school.
Since joining in October 2017, everything has changed. My attendance improved, I became a spokesperson for the program, and I graduated at the top of my middle school class. Today, I’m proud to be a freshman at Harlem Village Academy. Tomorrow’s Leaders NYC gave me hope and the tools to succeed."* Michael Johnson “ "Before joining Tomorrow’s Leaders NYC, I was a 14-year-old 6th grader in the same class as my younger sisters, who were three years younger than me. I struggled with low self-esteem and was chronically absent from school.
Since joining the program, my attendance has improved drastically. I finished 7th grade as an honor roll student and even skipped 8th grade. Now, I’m proud to be a freshman in high school. Tomorrow’s Leaders NYC helped me believe in myself and achieve more than I ever thought possible."
— David R., Program Participant Emily Davis “ "When I joined Tomorrow’s Leaders NYC, I was a 15-year-old 8th grader who had been held back twice. I had no interest in finishing high school, barely attended classes, and my grades never went above a 68 GPA.
The program changed everything. I graduated middle school, completed high school in just three years, and became Tomorrow’s Leaders’ full-time photographer. Now, I’m proud to be enrolled at New York City College of Technology. This program gave me the motivation and support to turn my life around."
