Our motto is "See it to Be it”, a philosophy built on harnessing the unparalleled cultural, educational, and natural wonders of New York City and the tri-state vicinity. We craft immersive experiences that broaden horizons and crystallize the principle that witnessing and engaging with the world's richness empowers children to dream without limits. Through our programs, we aim to make infinite possibilities tangible for every child, inspiring them to see and believe in a future they can aspire to and achieve. We’re proud to currently partner with local community groups that share our mission and The Robert A Taft Houses Residential Association to hyper-focus our experiential programming and resources on a specific communities in Harlem, which allows us to form genuine bonds of trust and affection between our organization and its residents. Throughout this process, we’re gathering concrete data that further demonstrates the power of inspiring a new generation through our programming.
