Mission Statement
Our mission is to inspire and empower all young people to take control of their future. We envision a world where everyone has access to an equitable path to success. Through our out-of-school-time programs, young people are given access to resources that will help them become strong future leaders and driving forces of positive change in the community.
About This Cause
Roads to Success (RTS) is a dynamic 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization committed to empowering youth, families, and communities to thrive through education, wellness, and workforce development. Our holistic approach addresses the unique challenges faced by underserved populations in New York City, helping them build brighter futures and succeed in life. Our mission is to create pathways to success by providing a comprehensive range of services that address academic, emotional, social, and economic needs. We aim to ensure that young people are equipped with the tools, resources, and support they need to graduate high school, pursue higher education, gain meaningful employment, and become leaders in their communities. Core Programs: College and Career Pathways: Launched in 2023, this program focuses on helping youth navigate their educational and career journeys. We offer personalized college advisement, career exploration workshops, internships, and vocational training, all aimed at ensuring that young people have a clear pathway to future success. Youth Leadership & Mentorship: RTS promotes leadership and personal growth through our youth mentoring programs. Our signature Youth Leadership Summit, a high-impact annual event, brings together young leaders, community members, and professionals to engage in workshops, discussions, and networking opportunities. These initiatives foster confidence, teamwork, and critical thinking. Wellness Hub: In response to growing mental health needs, we launched the Wellness Hub, a safe space offering youth mental health support and wellness education. Managed by our Youth Mental Health Manager, this initiative provides counseling, peer support groups, and access to resources that encourage emotional resilience and mental well-being. Workforce Development: Through our job-readiness workshops, financial literacy programs, and partnerships with corporations, we help young people build essential skills and secure sustainable employment. RTS works closely with corporate partners to ensure our participants receive hands-on experience, job training, and mentorship opportunities. Community Engagement & Support Services: RTS strengthens communities by offering critical support services such as academic tutoring, financial literacy workshops, and family resources. These services promote stability and growth, helping families overcome economic challenges while building a foundation for long-term success. Our Impact: With over 23 years of dedicated service, Roads to Success has made a tangible difference in the lives of thousands of youth and families across New York City. We serve more than 7,000 participants annually through our wide array of programs. By building strong community partnerships, offering evidence-based interventions, and fostering a culture of empowerment, RTS continues to lead the way in transforming lives. Key Statistics: 95% of RTS high school seniors graduate on time, exceeding the citywide average. 87% of our students pursue higher education or vocational training after high school. 80% of participants in our workforce programs secure employment or internships within six months. 1,200+ youth served annually through mental health services and wellness programs. Innovation and Growth: As we look to the future, RTS is expanding its reach and impact through innovative programs, like the Fall Toasting 'Harvesting Hope' Fundraiser, which brings together our supporters, partners, and community stakeholders to celebrate our successes and raise crucial funds. We are also planning a Spring Benefit in 2025 to further enhance our capacity to serve more youth. Our upcoming projects include the renovation of the Boston Secor Community Center, the launch of a tech learning center, and the expansion of our wellness services. Our Vision for the Future: At Roads to Success, we envision a world where every young person, regardless of background or circumstance, has access to the education, support, and opportunities they need to succeed. We are committed to expanding our programs to serve more youth across the city, fostering environments that encourage growth, leadership, and resilience. By investing in our future leaders today, we can create a more equitable and prosperous tomorrow. How You Can Help: Your support is critical to our success.
