Established in 1847, The New York Academy of Medicine is dedicated to ensuring everyone has the opportunity to live a healthy life. Through our original research, policy and program initiatives we provide the evidence base to address the structural and cultural barriers to good health and drive progress toward health equity. This work and our one-of-a-kind public programming are supported by our world class historical medical library and our Fellows program, a unique network of more than 2,000 experts elected by their peers from across the professions affecting health.

Expansion

Program Expansion

NYAM’s vision for YouthworksNYC is for expansion. NYAM would like to provide opportunities for youth to obtain access to supportive, engaging and empowering influences in their lives. Through the early success of YouthworksNYC, and the iterative process of continuing to shape the program with feedback from youth participants and our partners, we anticipate the program will only continue to strengthen its ability to connect, engage and empower.

Be Part of the Expansion

Expansion isn’t easy. We welcome conversation with individuals and groups who would like to be part of a journey to reach more youth with this innovative programming:

Programming organizations with young adult members including after school programming
Education funders
Credible messengers
Creative contributors
