This day brings together current Liberty Partnerships Program students, parents, and staff to meet, advocate and create awareness for our program initiatives and successes to our representatives in the New York State Assembly and the New York State Senate.

This annual statewide summit brings together students from grades 9–12; community, education, business and industry stakeholders; and higher education institutions to develop strategies that prepare students for post-secondary education and the workforce. The summit aims to improve strategies and resources to strengthen Pre-K–20 education outcomes and to improve strategies for addressing New York’s current and future workforce. The summit links the healthy development of youth as an integral part of the long-term strategy for growing New York State’s economy and the creation of deliberate pathways to higher education, to employing graduates in high-need careers in New York State.

Partnering with Say Yes to Education and Buffalo Public Schools, the academy provides community outreach and events to engage our school’s families in college-readiness activities and clean-a-thons, and promotes reading at home through literacy circles and book raffles. The academy is held at East Community High School and the Marva J. Daniel Futures Preparatory School.
