This Halloween, we turned the Renaissance Youth Center into a Haunted Hallway! From creative costumes to spooky decorations, our halls were filled with fun, fright, and laughter.

STEM jobs are among the fastest-growing and best-paying careers—but too many young people in the South Bronx lack access to quality programs that spark curiosity and build real-world skills. At Renaissance, we’re changing that through hands-on STEM learning that makes science, coding, robotics, and engineering come alive. From Battle Bots and 3D printing to free Robotics Fairs, BioBlitz adventures, and “STEM in a Box” lessons in local schools, our students are building, experimenting, problem-solving—and having fun while preparing for the future.

We’re counting down our Top 5 moments of 2025 — you don’t want to miss this!
#4: MWAM hits its highest notes yet.
Our Music With a Message band has performed everywhere from Carnegie Hall to The Apollo, wowing audiences year after year. But their excellence goes far beyond the stage—our 2025 seniors upheld MWAM’s tradition of a 100% high school graduation rate, surpassing district peers by over 30%. This year, two members earned full scholarships to Berklee College of Music, a testament to their talent and drive. These accomplishments reflect what we see across all Renaissance programs: when young people are supported and given opportunities to shine, they soar—becoming leaders, role models, and proof of what’s possible.
