BronxConnect UYAI

Did you know that it costs $247k annually to keep someone at Rikers, but only $11k for BronxConnect to support them? As a $1 million Communities Thrive Challenge grantee, we can provide even more care for our youth and help them build brighter futures. communitiesthrivechallenge.o….

Rikers Island has caused harm to countless people and families. Closing it is an opportunity to build something better, with more investments in restorative supports. Join us in making this a reality.

Our young people deserve resources where they can play, connect, and just be kids. That’s what strong communities are all about. 📸 welcome2thebronx

What does real community safety look like? Our very own Cecilia Teuber shares how resources currently spent on Rikers could support the services and people that help communities thrive. Listen to her perspective on investing in safety beyond jail walls. 🎥 freedomagendany

If we’re serious about community safety, we have to talk about where our resources go. What would happen if more of that investment went toward mental health care, social workers, and community-based support? Watch our team member share her vision. 📷 freedomagendany

You can’t recruit your way out of every problem. Years of staffing shortages across carceral facilities raise a bigger question about the scale of incarceration itself. Public safety requires us to look at the whole system.

Every young person deserves a safe place to learn and a community that is behind them. 📸 core_personal_training_frg

There’s more than one way to make a community safer. Cure Violence approaches violence as a public health issue, using credible messengers to interrupt conflicts, connect with people at highest risk, and shift community norms. thetrace.org/2026/08/new-yor…

At the heart of our Release The Grip team are relationships. It looks like showing up for one another, our youth building connections and staff creating moments where everyone can feel supported. 📸 core_personal_training_frg

A little bit of good can go a long way. For us, that means putting Love into Action, creating opportunities for Redemption, and showing up for our community every day.

Every day, young people are learning and figuring out where they want to go next. It's our privilege to make sure they have the support to get there. 📸 denn_ice
