I WILL GRADUATE DAY NYC 2022

I WILL GRADUATE DAY NYC. The largest youth empowerment program and celebration of education is back! October 24th, 2022 @ The Barclay Center from 12-6 pm! Join the I WILL GRADUATE Program, in encouraging the youth across NYC to “Get Focused and Stay Focused” for the 2022/2023 school year.

Participating schools will receive 6-week of workshops leading up to I WILL GRADUATE Day. The workshops will provide students grades 7-12 with the tools they need to stay on task and bring their A-game to the new school year. We will celebrate the completion of the program with the largest super-charged youth empowerment event NYC has ever seen!

On I WILL GRADUATE DAY, we will keep students engaged by bringing in speakers who offer life lessons and experiences. Surprise appearances by some of their favorite celebrities, musical acts, and performers spotlight the day's important theme, leaving students re-energized, re-focused, and re-committed to their education.

Since its inception in 2006, I WILL GRADUATE DAY NYC has been spearheaded by educational/community leaders, celebrities, professional athletes, and high-profile executives. On that day schools across the city will engage in activities, events, workshops, and pep rallies to encourage students to take charge of their educational journey!
