NYC GREAT! is a Girls Leadership & Communications Development Program founded In April 2015 by The Office of Equity & Access under the NYC Department of Education. GREAT, an acronym for Girls Reaching Every Apex Together sets the tone for our CLIMB curriculum, allowing us to CLIMB to the APEX together. NYC GREAT!  serves as a vehicle for young women to find their voice, articulate their purpose, and become architects of their own future as it pertains to successfully graduating high school and entering college. The goal of each interaction with our program is to have girls consider, “Why settle for average when you can be GREAT?”

NYC GREAT! is established on the following 5 pillars of CLIMB:
• College Readiness
• Leadership
• Introspection
• Mastery Learning
• Building Sisterhood

NYC GREAT! IS A WEEKLY SATURDAY PROGRAM WHICH RUNS FROM 9AM - 4PM DURING THE SCHOOL YEAR IN THE BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN
