Exalt Youth (exalt) champions the idea that when young people are given the opportunity and skills they deserve, their potential for success is limitless. In New York City alone, over 14,000 teenagers get arrested each year and the vast majority are youth of color enrolled in under-resourced schools. exalt plays a significant role in breaking the cycle of court-involvement by re-engaging young people in their education through our proprietary curriculum and paid internship placements. Contributions to the organization have a direct impact on their ability to help teenagers receive professional development experiences while navigating the inequitable systems they are facing every day. Every $1000 raised will put (1) student through the exalt internship program.
