ENGAGE New York City

What is ENGAGE New York City - Community School District 28?

The New York City Department of Education - Community School District 28 has partnered with Graduation Alliance to provide an extra layer of support for K-12 grade students and their families to boost school engagement and academic success during the school year.

Students who choose to participate in the program will be assigned an Academic Success Coach who will answer questions, connect them with resources, and develop a plan to help the student stay on track and engaged with their schooling.

How does it work?

Coaches reach out to students by phone, email, text message, and more to provide support such as:
Guidance on technical and teacher access
Encouragement and motivation to help students stay on track with their studies
Organization and study tips
Educational resources and exercises to help strengthen reading and math skills
Referrals to local nonprofit organizations that can provide social-emotional support

What does it cost?

ENGAGE New York City is district-funded and completely free to students.

How do I sign up?

Please contact your school main office to let them know you’d like to refer your child into the program.
