RTS Youth Leadership Summit

Roads to Success hosted its 7th Annual Leadership Summit at "The Borough of Manhattan Community College" on July 14, 2023.

Over 600 students and young professionals joined us for a transformative half-day centered on the theme “Build Your Own Road.”

Public Advocate Jumaane D. Williams gave a powerful keynote address, challenging attendees to question assumptions, embrace discomfort, and create the change they wish to see. Workshop sessions equipped participants with practical skills for success in areas like business, finance, health, andSTEM.

A highlight was our Career Leadership Panel where professionals from diverse industries shared their own roads to leadership.

As Sheila Duke, our CEO, remarked: “Judging by the enthusiasm of this year’s attendees, the future is bright.”

We are grateful to our speakers, partners, volunteers, and attendees for making our 7th Leadership Summit such a resounding success. AtRoads to Success, our mission is to empower youth from underserved communities through leadership development, mentorship, and college access programs. Events like our Annual Leadership Summit reinforce our commitment to helping young people chart their own unique roads to becoming the leaders of tomorrow.

We are excited to continue this important work!
