    • Citibank
    • Battelle Memorial
    • Knapp Swezey Foundation
    • have come to our rescue by generous donations of their resources, personnel and contributions and we stand united with NYSUT as they seek to annually sponsor a minority student pursuing a degree in education.

    Other education and governmental entities such as Brookhaven National Laboratory, Eastern Suffolk BOCES, The Town of Islip, and Suffolk County Legislature have recognized our vital role in the community and have offered support to uplift the program to higher grounds. Together we are "the village" that is seeking to bring about a positive reform in public education in our community and in our nation.

    We believe that this project will be a model for others therefore, producing change on a large scale.
