This Thanksgiving, we had the privilege of giving back to our Bronx community by hosting our Annual Turkey Giveaway, providing 2,000 turkeys to families in need. Partnering with local leaders like Senator Robert Jackson, Bronx Borough President Vanessa Gibson, and others, we worked to ease the financial burden of the holiday season. ???? We’re deeply moved by the stories of gratitude and resilience shared by community members. As one father expressed, this support means families can prioritize health and togetherness during these challenging times. A special thank you to PIX11 and journalist ELIECER MARTE for featuring our work and highlighting the importance of uplifting communities in need. #WeRiseTogether #TurkeyGiveaway #Thanksgiving #CommunityMatters

Exciting news! Oyate Group is partnering with Global Glimpse again to send 15 of our Rise Leadership students on an international trip this summer! ?? Jayden’s journey to Panama was unforgettable. He helped replant trees to combat deforestation, learned about preserving habitats for spider monkeys, and embraced the vibrant Panamanian culture. Through Rise Leadership, Jayden also learned to step out of his comfort zone, build meaningful relationships, and embrace challenges with confidence. We’re so proud of the growth our students experience and can’t wait to see what this year’s group will achieve! #RiseLeadership #GlobalGlimpse #OyateGroup
