For 35 years, DFOY has remained committed to strengthening families, uplifting communities, and creating opportunities for young people across NYC. At our 35th Anniversary Gala, we shared a special video reflecting on the journey that brought us here, the students whose lives have been transformed, the communities we continue to champion, and the countless staff, partners, and supporters who have helped shape our legacy of service. This milestone is more than a celebration of the past 35 years. It is a testament to the power of community, resilience, and believing in the potential of every young person we serve. Thank you to everyone who has been part of our story. The impact we have made together continues to inspire the future ahead. #DFOY35 #DFOY #CommunityImpact #YouthDevelopment #NYCNonprofit #LegacyOfService https://lnkd.in/e_ec_Q-F
