COLLEGE PREPARATION

Getting ready for college is an exciting journey, and the earlier students start, the better prepared they will be. College readiness begins long before high school—building strong academic skills, exploring interests, and developing interpersonal abilities set the foundation for success.

Transitioning from high school to college brings many changes, so planning ahead is key. Early steps like taking the PSAT or Pre-ACT not only provide practice for the SAT or ACT but also help students stand out to colleges and scholarship committees.

Our college prep programs in The Bronx guide students through every step—academic support, test preparation, skill-building, and goal-setting—so they can confidently navigate the path to college and seize opportunities for higher education.

Beyond academics, we provide mentorship, one-on-one guidance, and workshops to help students build confidence, discover their passions, and develop the life skills needed to thrive in college and beyond. By nurturing the whole student, we aim to empower the next generation of leaders from The Bronx.

High schoolers should start preparing for college as early as possible to maximize opportunities. Researching colleges helps students identify the best fit for their individual needs, including location, cost, and programs of study. This knowledge also supports important conversations with parents about college finances and helps students plan how to save for future expenses. Creating a resume that highlights accomplishments and extracurricular activities gives students a competitive edge in the admissions process. Early preparation reduces stress and sets the stage for success.

Summer is a crucial time for students to focus on personal and academic goals. Planning a productive summer helps students feel prepared for the upcoming school year and makes the most of their time off.

Our college prep program provides students with guidance on all aspects of higher education, from applying to colleges to building a plan for academic and personal growth. The program emphasizes career planning, healthy lifestyle choices, and the skills necessary to thrive in college and beyond.

For students in The Bronx, we understand the unique challenges and opportunities that come with growing up in our community. Our program provides tailored support, mentorship, and resources to help Bronx students navigate the college application process, explore career paths, and access scholarships and opportunities that might otherwise be out of reach.

Through tailored curriculum, hands-on workshops, and expert guidance, we aim to be a central part of each student’s journey. By integrating all aspects of college readiness into our programming, we equip students with the tools, confidence, and knowledge they need to succeed.

GRANT AWARD SUPPORTS COMMUNITY-LED RESEARCH

The Angellyh Yambo Foundation (AYF) & RomoGIS have been awarded a two-year grant from the Bronx Research Institute for Community Solutions (BRICS), an initiative of Fordham University, supporting our work from July 1st, 2026, through June 30th, 2028.

The Angellyh Yambo Foundation & RomoGIS' collaborative initiative, “Bronx Community Mapping - A Blueprint for Change,” was selected for funding through the BRICS initiative. As a community-based organization, AYF will work with our Bronx residents, research partner Dr. Katheryn Roberson-Miranda, and technology lead RomoGIS along with La Central YMCA to identify community needs and inform solutions that expand public safety and leadership opportunities for youth. This investment recognizes the power of community-led research to address the systemic inequities facing The Bronx. Through these partnerships, the Angellyh Yambo Foundation & RomoGIS are building a community-driven ecosystem that brings together data, lived experience, and collaboration to create equitable, and sustainable change. We are grateful to BRICS, an initiative of Fordham University, for its partnership and support as we continue advancing solutions shaped by and for our Bronx community.
