About Unity Fellowship Breaking Ground (AKA Breaking Ground NYC)

Our mission is to invest in the social, educational and physical well being of all New York City young adults in an LGBTQ inclusive environment through economic empowerment for a self-sustaining holistic transition into adulthood. Each year, thousands of New York City young-adults transition into adulthood without a solid foundation-geared to equip them with the invaluable tools and keen insight need to become independent contributors to society. A loss of connectivity to vital services such as college readiness, career attainment and health and wellness programs often leads to high un and under employment, homelessness, and a total disconnection form valuable economic drivers; resulting in an increased burden on the overall economy. A 2014 Young Invincibles found that current unemployment rates for 18-34 year olds cost federal and state governments almost $8.9 billion dollars each year. New York City Young Adults (ages 16-30) who are either homeless or reside in under-resourced communities are often trapped in intergenerational cycles of poverty. These cycles hinder them from gaining the skills or support needed to make a holistic transition into adulthood; often prohibiting them from becoming economically sound contributing members of society. Due to the unmet needs of this underrepresented and under-resourced population, Breaking Ground fosters an inclusive environment for individuals to transition into adulthood while providing the invaluable tools needed to increase academic achievement, employability, health, and business opportunities. We address the needs of our targeted populations through meaningful outcomes (accountability, performance and results) as opposed to a singular process. Our goal is not only to provide instruction on how to get a job, start a business, get into college and live a healthy life; we partner with young adults to build lasting self-sustaining pathways out of poverty and into economic prosperity.
