About Us
Mission: 

Student Success Network is a community of practitioners, youth, and researchers leveraging our collective power to transform programming, practice, and policy in New York City. We believe that to see improved, equitable outcomes for youth we must address root causes of inequity and foster intentional collaboration, not competition. We elevate transformative social emotional learning principles and catalyst our Network members towards collective impact in post-secondary outcomes for youth.

Programs: 

Initiatives are informed by a transformative social-emotional learning (tSEL) lens that focuses on improving the conditions that shape youth outcomes rather than viewing young people from a deficit lens and in need of behavioral changes and aims to improve:

  • Coordination and effectiveness within the nonprofit youth development sector

  • Practices, programs, policies and environments that shape youth outcomes

  • Postsecondary and wellbeing outcomes for youth in NYC

2023 Initiatives are:

  1. The Creating Healing Centered Communities (CHCC) initiative advances our priority to support student and staff mental health and wellbeing within the Network.
  2. The Critical Consciousness in College Access & Success (CCCAS) Initiative advances our priority to integrate identity and culturally affirming approaches into college pathways.
  3. The CCCAS Initiative is a multi-phase approach to improve wellbeing and academic outcomes for Black and Brown college-going students. 
  4. The Elevating Youth Voice (EYV) Initiative advances our priority to elevate authentic youth-adult partnership in youth development nonprofits across the Network.
