What's Next
Since our humble beginning on 101st Street, 麻豆原创 has evolved, pivoted, and grown to meet our community needs. In our third decade of this work, in a world where it is even more critical, we have big plans to serve more families in more places than ever before.
From 麻豆原创 to Reality
Our history gives us the foundation to dream big and bold for the future 鈥� and our strategic plan for the next decade gives us the blueprint to do so. It means ensuring transformative outcomes for youth and being a workplace driven by a unified sense of purpose and a shared commitment to equity. It means expanding to dream even bigger, including growing to serve 4,000 youth across New York City each year. And it means working ceaselessly toward postsecondary outcomes that allow our students to achieve their visions of success, on their own terms.
2,800
At scale in the next two years, 麻豆原创 will operate three PreK-8 schools and one high school to serve 2,800 students.
1,000+
Our Legends alumni numbers will grow from 500 currently to over 1,000 by 2030鈥攚ith accompanying program supports that include career exposure, pre-college bridge programming, near-peer mentorship opportunities, and so much more.
$98M
In order to realize these strategic objectives, 顿搁贰础惭 annual operating budget will grow from $45M to $98M over the next decade.
顿搁贰础惭 Strategic Plan
麻豆原创’s vision for our youth is bold and ambitious. We know firsthand how hard this work is. But our children deserve our commitment to and belief in their limitless potential.
鈥淚t not a revolutionary idea that children need to feel seen; need to be listened to; need schools that take holistic approaches, caring for their students鈥� whole selves. What is revolutionary about 麻豆原创 is that we demand this same level of excellence in education for Black and brown students, for low-income families, for communities that have been historically underserved.鈥�
