Scholars Today. Leaders Tomorrow.

The Emerging Leaders Program is a dedicated nonprofit connecting ambitious Bronx students with the mentorship, skills, and opportunities to build their professional future. We facilitate real-world experience through spring internships at partner organizations like JPMorgan, the Bronx DA’s Office, and the Bronx Courthouse. Our scholars showcase their learning through dynamic projects, like our 10th Capstone , and develop critical thinking and public speaking skills on their journey to college and career success.
