On December 2, 2020, over 800+ NYC families connected to the first-ever Virtual Enrichment Program Fair. TEAK partnered with ten of our community-based peer organizations serving low-income students. Families and teachers had the chance to learn about free and low-cost programs that provide access to high school and college educational opportunities. The event featured a keynote address from Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (NY-08), Chairman of the House Democratic Caucus, and Dr. Nancy GutiƩrrez, President and CEO of The Leadership Academy.
Watch below as TEAK, Breakthrough NY, and REACH colleagues discuss highlights of the evening and reflect on the process of putting the event together.
