Virtual Town Hall Shining a Light on Community Support
Amidst unprecedented challenges, we have observed the power and importance of communities coming together to support one another. To kick off the 2021 NYC Kids RISE Virtual Town Hall Series, we are bringing together five members of the Save for College Program community that have stepped up to support their neighbors. These panelists, representing some of the many organizations and people that serve our neighbors, have developed creative initiatives — rooted in connection and relationships — to help address community needs. Join us to meet these leaders, learn more about their efforts and connect with one another as we move forward together.
Featuring:
  • Kim Calichio – Founder, The Connected Chef
  • Claudia Coger – President, Astoria Houses Resident Association
  • Maryam Shariat Mudrick – Co-Founder, Astoria Mutual Aid Network
  • Chhanda Sutton – Branch Manager, Urban Upbound Federal Credit Union
  • Reverend Patrick Young – Pastor, First Baptist Church of Corona
Moderated by Leila Bozorg, Chief of Strategy + Policy, NYC Kids RISE

The NYC Kids RISE Save for College Program provides families, schools, and communities with a way to work together to save for their children’s futures. It’s a scholarship and savings program designed to make college more accessible and achievable for all NYC public school students—regardless of their family’s income or immigration status. The Save for College Program is a tool that families, along with their schools and neighbors, can use and customize in the way that best fits into their lives and best supports their dreams for their children. NYC Kids RISE, a nonprofit organization, manages the Save for College Program in partnership with the NYC Department of Education and the City of New York.
