Support ExpandED's Covid-19 Opportunity Fund

When you donate to ExpandED Schools, you help close the opportunity gap by providing more time, more role models and more opportunities for kids to discover their talents and develop their full potential.

In 1998, we pioneered the afterschool movement in NYC. Since that time, we have brightened the futures of more than one million kids around the city and beyond. Today, we are leading rapid innovation in the afterschool field to meet the educational and social-emotional needs of youth sheltering in place across the City.

Join our Youth Empowerment Summer (YES) campaign today to make paid remote internships available to 40,000 young people through a citywide initiative ExpandED is leading with a coalition of partners. Teens in the program come from the marginalized and low-income communities across the City that have been hardest hit by Covid-19. Now more than ever, these students need meaningful summer internships that inspire hope, build digital skills for the 21st century workplace, and provide income. You can learn more about YES here.

Your contribution to YES will help our city's youth not just survive but thrive during this challenging time. We also welcome donations to our general operating fund, through which ExpandED supports programming for students from kindergarten through college, now re-engineered to continue remotely.
