Celebrating Our Achievers: Graduation Milestones and Caregiver Dedication

We had an incredible time celebrating our remarkable Achievers as they graduated from kindergarten, 5th grade, 8th grade, and senior year, alongside their devoted caregivers! Each graduate was honored with a certificate and a thoughtfully prepared gift bag, recognizing their hard work and perseverance. The celebration culminated in a joyful reception where all attendees could connect and share in the happiness of the occasion.

This event was not just a celebration of academic milestones but also a tribute to the unwavering support from caregivers who play a vital role in our Achievers’ success. Their dedication and commitment are the backbone of our community at Friends of the Children–New York.

The importance of our two-generation (2Gen) approach was evident throughout the event. By simultaneously addressing the needs of children and their caregivers, we create a supportive environment that fosters resilience and growth for the entire family. This holistic strategy ensures that our Achievers receive the emotional, educational, and social support necessary to thrive, while their caregivers are empowered with resources and guidance to support their children’s development.

Congratulations to all the graduates and their caregivers! We are immensely proud of your accomplishments and look forward to witnessing your continued growth and success. A heartfelt thank you to everyone who attended the event and shared in celebrating our Achievers' successes.
