A MESSAGE FROM OUR CHIEF PROGRAM OFFICER 

Earlier this evening, Mayor Bill de Blasio and Schools Chancellor Richard A. Carranza announced that students are not expected to report to NYC school buildings until Monday, April 20, 2020.

As a result, our after-school and Spring Recess programming across all of our NYC public school sites will be suspended until Monday, April 20, 2020 as well. We apologize in advance for any inconvenience this may cause to your daily life. Our amazing team of site directors will however, be available via phone and email to address any questions or concerns that may arise.

The health and safety of all of our Roads to Success participants continues to be our first priority. We thank you all for your continued support and hope that everyone remains informed and healthy in the wake of the evolving situation around the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) in New York City.

Bashan Fernandez
Chief Program Officer

​As a reminder, it is critical that we all continue to practice general viral infection prevention measures including: 

- Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue or sleeve 
- Wash your hands regularly 
- Avoid touching your face 
- Avoid close contact with people who are sick 
- Get your flu shot—it’s never too late 
- Stay home if you’re feeling sick. Call your doctor and let them know your symptoms and travel history.

Please visit nyc.gov/coronavirus at any time for critical updates, as well as a helpful Coronavirus Fact Sheet (plus translations), available on that page under Additional Resources for 2019 Outbreak.

This page also includes ways to fight stigma and bias around this issue. It’s important we come together as a community and support one another during this time. COVID-19 is not more likely found in any one race or nationality, and we must each model inclusion and actively work to combat bias in our workplaces and communities. There are a lot of things on social media and in the news that are at best not rooted in science and at worst, offensive, demeaning and racist.

We will continue to share updates with our Roads to Success community during this rapidly evolving situation.
