The New York Foundling’s Reaching New Heights Fair Futures program operates in the Bronx and offers 1:1 coaching and tutoring to young people who are involved with or at risk of involvement with the juvenile or criminal justice systems. Serving young people from middle school through age 21, the program implements the Fair Futures model, which centers around their needs and meets them where they are so they can achieve their academic, career and life goals.

The Reaching New Heights Fair Futures program provides young people with long-term coaching, including social/emotional, academic, and career development support. Each young person works closely with a Coach and Education & Employment Specialist to build trusting relationships and develop a strong network of positive peer and adult supports; to prepare for and graduate high school; to explore, connect to, and persist in post-secondary settings; and to engage in career exploration and build progressive career development experiences in line with their interests.
