3:45pm - 4:15pm
NASDAQ MarketSite
On February 10, 2010, YouthBridge-NY visited the NASDAQ MarketSite in New York City's Times Square. In honor of the occasion, William Boyland, Jr., New York State Assemblyman, Board Member Lorraine Watson, Alumnus Santiago Mueckay and YouthBridge-NY Fellow Laura Halperin presided over the NASDAQ Closing Bell. Despite the inclement weather, 20 YouthBridge-NY Fellows, alum, board members, and staff helped end the trading day and celebrated the organization’s work in training diverse teen leaders for a better New York City. YouthBridge-NY would like to thank Robin Verges and Lorraine Watson of Rubenstein Associates for providing YouthBridge-NY with this opportunity.

Hunter College & The Pond at Bryant Park
Fellows and Bridgers came together for the first time since the summer retreat for a fun afternoon of pizza, poetry, and ice skating. Jamele Adams, Dean of Diversity at Brandeis University, led an exciting poetry slam and brought out the creative side our Fellowship. Fellows and Bridgers wrote haikus about each other, making for some good laughs. We then trekked down to Bryant Park for an evening of ice skating at The Pond.
