ABOUT US

Our Mission

Our Mission

Our Mission

Liberated Success centers on the needs of Black students, families, and educators to provide the tools for young adults to have career success.  Through workforce development, intentional career exploration activities, experiences, and counseling support, young adults ages 14 - 24 will have the self-determination to make a liberated career choice.   

Our Vision

Our Mission

Our Mission

To disrupt the lack of opportunity, economic mobility, and social capital that so many students experience in transitioning from school to work.  We are creating an intergenerational community that promotes wellness in the workplace.

Our North Star

Liberated Success expands upon traditional career development practices by expanding the internship model with: 


  • Community. We prioritize exposing students to adults in various industries with whom students can identify.  Joining the Liberated Success community expands the student's network. Students will increase their social capital by establishing a minimum of two mentor relationships.
  • Leadership. At Liberated Success, we focus on developing students' interpersonal skills that will make them an asset in any industry. All students participate in leadership development workshops to hone their soft skills.
  • Exploration. Instead of telling students what they cannot achieve, we explore all career options and offer resources to help students achieve their goals. Students have access to career exploration assessments with support in interpreting data.
  • Experience.  To make this a truly enriching experience that does not place any stress on other responsibilities the student may have, thus we compensate our students for their talents and participation in all internship

After working as a vocational counselor for over 20 years in public education. I observed that we expect young people to know what they want to do when they graduate high school. Career exploration is necessary for young people to make a liberated career choice. Students should not have to choose between participating in an unpaid internship or working a summer job that doesn't expose them to professionals in their area of interest. Liberated Success offers students an opportunity to participate in career exploration activities, explore professions, receive professional career counseling, mentoring, and earn money in a nurturing and supportive environment.

I was interested in becoming a board member for Liberated Success because of the passion the Executive Director has demonstrated towards the young Black youth of New York City. I have always had an interest and a sense of obligation to give back to our youth the way so many others have poured into me during my high school and college year

I was interested in becoming a board member for Liberated Success because of the passion the Executive Director has demonstrated towards the young Black youth of New York City. I have always had an interest and a sense of obligation to give back to our youth the way so many others have poured into me during my high school and college years. Learning that Ebony was leading this organization, seemed like the perfect and natural thing to involve myself with. I knew I had to be a part of it because I know it will be something special for the youth of New York City and beyond.

“I am the proud mom of a 23 year old daughter, whose intelligence was underserved, in the mainstream school system, which is often ill-equipped to successfully prepare students of color for success. My passion for helping others; and my experience trying to navigate my daughter through the public school system without critical resources,

My passion for helping others; and my experience trying to navigate my daughter through the public school system without critical resources, has me excited to join the board of Liberated Success, to help provide other parents with the tools needed to help their children succeed and realize their full potential.”
