Save the Date! 9/18 Bronx Youth Center Ribbon-Cutting Celebration

This summer, The Door’s Bronx Youth Center (BYC) moved to a new, spacious South Bronx location! BYC is now housed in a newly designed and renovated 18,000-square-foot facility that spans four floors. The new space will catalyze improved access to the growing community need for BYC programs and services. In addition to continuing to offer employment and education programming, BYC will add programs and services including mental health supports, arts programming, legal assistance, culinary services, and more.

We are delighted to invite Door friends, supporters, partners, and community members to attend a ribbon-cutting celebration to mark this momentous occasion, to welcome you in to see our new digs, to amplify our mission to empower NYC young people to reach their full potential, and to share our vision for better serving the Bronx youth community.

The event will be held in the new BYC facility and will begin with a press conference—with brief remarks by The Door CEO Kelsey Louie, BYC Managing Director Alex-Ann Espeut, and other supporters—followed by a festive gathering with refreshments and small-group guided tours of the new space.

Please RSVP online by Thursday, September 7!
