A MESSAGE
FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR This year was marked by some exciting new developments for The Door, and I arrived as the new executive director in early spring just in time to take part in and advance many of them. The change in leadership gave the directors and me the opportunity to look at many aspects of the organization with fresh eyes and to set a course for the rest of the year. Throughout, we have been guided by our Five Year Strategic Plan, which we began to implement this year, and we continue to set our priorities and mark our progress in relation to the very clear vision laid out within it. There are six strategic initiatives that drive our plan, all critical to the organization’s success, but one stands out as paramount: enhancing the organizational capability to integrate, deliver and measure services. In order to fulfill our mission, we need to be much more than a collection of great programs under one roof. We need to take advantage of all our resources—the passion of staff, the talent of young people, the diversity of funding, our magnificent space—to offer a truly seamless array of services to the young people who come here each day looking for opportunities and assistance. We believe that the best way to achieve positive outcomes for young people is to address their multiple needs and areas of development, whether all at once or in turn. And we see the proof every day. The Door strives to create programs that fill gaps in services for youth. For example, this fall The Door opened its first supportive housing initiative, The Lee, in collaboration with Common Ground. The Lee will offer new homes to 55 young adults who are aging out of foster care or who have struggled with mental illness and homelessness. Unlike many other housing options for low-income, vulnerable youth, residents can stay as long as they need, with the hope that they will use this space—literally and figuratively—to stabilize their lives, build their skills and launch into adulthood when they are ready and able. A second supportive housing site is now in planning for 2012 which will serve a similar population and include space for young families, as well. Recognizing another gap in service offerings, The Door is opening a charter high school in August 2011 offering New York City youth at risk of academic failure an opportunity to obtain a Regents Diploma in a supportive setting. Broome Street Academy Charter High School will be one of the first high schools in the country to target youth in foster care, those who are homeless and those from very underperforming middle schools. The school will be located at The Door and our expectation is that by combining a rigorous, individually-tailored curriculum with The Door’s broad range of services, we will demonstrate that even the most vulnerable youth can earn a high school diploma. As we expand in these new and interesting directions, we will be mindful to retain a sharp focus on our core programming in health, mental health, legal and career and education services, and we will continue to work to effectively integrate them all to better serve our young people. Julie L. Shapiro, Executive Director, The Door

THE DOOR SPOTLIGHT
“
My life has drastically changed since coming to The Door…I have innumerable opportunities open to me that didn’t exist before.
Born in Jamaica, Donya was left in the care of her grandmother and aunt as a child. From the time she moved to the United States at age 9, Donya excelled in school. However, her dreams for college came to a halt when she realized that she was undocumented and ineligible for financial aid. Fortunately a high school teacher referred Donya to The Door’s Legal Services Center.
”
Legal Services Center The Door’s Legal Services Center is well-known for its work with immigrant youth, having helped to win landmark decisions, with pro bono support from several law firms, that have shaped the way the City and State handle cases like Donya’s. Donya was paired with a lawyer who explained that she was eligible for a special status that would enable her to apply for a green card. They filed her case and, one year later, she became a Lawful Permanent Resident. And the support didn’t end there—her attorney continued to help her apply for financial aid and fill out other necessary forms to accompany her college applications.
College, Career and Health Services Coming to The Door every day to meet with her lawyer, Donya made friends with other Door members, and became involved in other activities. She attended workshops provided by the Career Services program about how to do well in an interview, whether for work or school, and she joined the thousands of other young people who visit the Adolescent Health Center for free services each year. She received a physical exam with the doctor—something she needed in order to apply for college. College Now a junior at Lehman College, Donya is majoring in social work. Thanks to her green card, she receives financial aid to pay for tuition and books. In addition, she was able to go back to Jamaica to visit after so many years. Donya hopes to go on to get her master’s in social work, partly because of her experience at The Door. She says, “seeing the services that were available to me made me want to do that for other young people.”

Will first came to The Door when he was 14 years old and was placed here for a job assignment with NYC’s Summer Youth Employment Program. Walking through that door on his first day, he had no idea that he was embarking on a path to a lifelong career.
“
Being able to hold a camera,
to develop and edit my own pictures and design my own materials helped me realize my true passion. Plus it gave me a great portfolio to use when I applied to school!
”
Summer Job Will’s first job was as a peer educator with the Adolescent Health Center. Working with a program called TASI—Teens Against Sexual Ignorance—he helped lead workshops throughout The Door about the importance of safe sex and healthy relationships.
Leadership As part of the summer program, Will was involved in the Leadership Development Institute (LDI), which meant that he had the chance to participate in leadership workshops throughout The Door and take classes that were specific to his interests. He gained self-confidence, developed job skills, and learned about how to give back to his community. Recently Will was able to give back on a larger scale with his participation in a week-long, international conference in Berlin with 90 young people representing non-profit organizations from all over the world. Art LDI also gave Will the chance to explore his creative side with classes in graphic design and photography. With access to a camera and lighting equipment, along with The Door’s dark room and a full suite of graphic design software, Will found a talent he never knew he had. He soon became the go-to guy for design. He created flyers for his peer education group and was editor-in-chief of The Door’s LDI yearbook for two years in a row. College As his portfolio grew, Will realized that the work he loved so much could translate into a career. He applied and was accepted into the Fashion Institute of Technology to study advertising. And his work at The Door didn’t stop there. Most recently Will was the lead photographer on The Door’s 2009 Annual Report and he played a major role in helping to design and launch The Door’s new website—www.door.org. Now in his third year at FIT, Will has more experience under his belt than many have even a year or two out of college, giving him a leg up in what may be a difficult job market.

“
My coaches gave me the confidence I needed to go to school. Whenever I feel down, or like I can’t do it anymore, I just call them and they remind me that I can do this.
When Priscilla reached her sophomore year of high school, she was already so far behind that she wasn’t going to graduate until she was 21 years old. She dropped out and became pregnant not long after. Luckily a friend told her about the GED program at The Door, and she signed up right away.
”
Career and GED Services Priscilla enrolled in The Door’s GED and career services program, EPOCH. Whereas before she had been dealing with inattentive teachers and a school environment that made it easy to slip through the cracks, now she had teachers who pushed her to excel. One even took the time to call her in the morning to make sure she was up and getting ready, staying motivated towards her goals. Internship After getting her GED, Priscilla worked hard to set a solid foundation for herself and her daughter. However, juggling life’s many responsibilities—finding a job and planning a future all while being a good parent—was challenging. Fortunately she had help from her career coaches at The Door. They found her a part-time job as a waitress to help pay the bills, and an internship in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at Metropolitan Hospital.
College Guidance Priscilla’s internship exposed her to new options for her future. She saw doctors and nurses in action, and she was able to talk to some medical students. It wasn’t long before she saw herself in their shoes. She worked with a college guidance coach in the Talent Search program who laid out a plan: Priscilla could go to community college for a few years to build up her credits and then transfer to a four-year university where she could pursue medicine and her dream of becoming a doctor.
Nassau Community College Priscilla started Nassau Community College this past fall. Walking to her first class, she was overwhelmed with the range of possibilities suddenly available to her. “I never thought I would go to college,” she says. “I thought I would end up just getting a job that didn’t mean anything. Now I know I want to go into medicine, and I know I can do it.”

had been living in and out of shelters since running away from her abusive mother when we featured her in last year’s report. In the past year, Ninoska has continued working on her studies and now has a part-time job at an after-school program run by The Door’s affiliate agency, University Settlement. And in the biggest news of her past year, Ninoska moved into a brand new studio of her own at The Lee, The Door’s new supportive housing complex built in partnership with Common Ground. Director of Education Services, discussed the importance of education as the great equalizer in the 2009 report. Over the past year, Jeremy worked very hard to apply for—and get approved to open!—Broome Street Academy Charter High School, which will focus on young people at risk of academic failure whether because of their history in foster care or marginalized housing, or because they are graduating from underperforming middle schools. Through a unique partnership with The Door, all Broome Street Academy students will have access to the “full spectrum of support” that Jeremy knows is so vital to their success.
ADOLESCENT HEALTH CENTER (AHC) Free standing diagnostic and treatment center providing comprehensive reproductive and primary health care; health education; HIV prevention education, counseling and testing; nutritional counseling; and dental and dermatological health services in a youth-centered, safe environment.

In addition, the Talent Search college guidance program saw 600 young people apply for postsecondary education, 93% of whom enrolled in school this past fall.
LEGAL SERVICES CENTER Services include free representation and advice to youth on public assistance, housing, foster care rights, family law, employment, education law and immigration. In addition, the Center creates and disseminates pamphlets and guides, provides workshops to young people and providers, and provides expert legal assistance to organizations throughout the country. Over the past year, the Center served 870 young people and closed more than 800 cases.
