Let’s commit to not returning to “normal” but to better—much better. The siloed systems of the past that once seemed so set in stone, and were always inequitable, are suddenly more malleable. Now is the time to think differently.

The HERE to HERE team is excited to partner with the New York Jobs CEO Council and CareerWise New York as we collectively scale employer engagement, expand the availability of apprenticeships, and together reimagine youth talent development in The Bronx and New York City.

In the face of unprecedented challenges, we continue to champion Bronx and NYC youth by partnering to remove systemic barriers and create new ways for young people to earn and learn. We thank our champions of talent for your continued efforts to seize disruption and help NYC prepare for a summer unlike any other.

In standing with the many peaceful protestors, and as global citizens calling for justice, HERE to HERE’s staff and board commit to becoming an actively anti-racist organization intentionally building towards racial equity, both internally and through our external partnerships.

As the HERE to HERE team works to address new Covid-related challenges, we are doing so with a steadfast focus on our vision of a thriving, inclusive economy, in The Bronx and elsewhere, driven by meaningful partnerships between young people and employers.
