Today’s students.
Tomorrow’s leaders.
HERE to HERE is a Bronx-based nonprofit that unites employers, educators, and community-based organizations to connect young people to family-sustaining careers and create a thriving, inclusive economy.
We support people and institutions already developing career pathways and break down barriers between them.
Our goal is to build partnerships and policies that help employers identify the talent they need to thrive and ensure every student develops the passion, experience, and professional network to succeed in a career of their choice.
HERE to HERE was developed through feedback from the community and DreamYard, Big Picture Learning, and the Dimon Foundation’s shared commitment to enhance opportunities for young people.

Work is College prep
The time is now to invest in work-based learning and career pathways for high school students, not as an alternative or addendum to college preparation, but as an intentional way to improve postsecondary decision-making and long-term outcomes.
The CDOS Pathway
Work-based learning activities greatly improve high school retention and graduation rates, and postsecondary preparedness. The Career Development Occupational Studies commencement credential, or CDOS, represents a powerful avenue for educators, policymakers, and organizations interested in expanding work-based learning opportunities for students in New York City high schools.
building opportunity for bronx employers and youth
In partnership with the Office of The Bronx Borough President, BOEDC, and HERE to HERE, the Bronx Private Industry Council, introduced in this paper, will strengthen connections between employers and students to support a thriving economy, continued innovation, and opportunities that drive students toward rewarding, family-sustaining careers.
