Winokur Patricia Young, Founder CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER Gina Lucas 2 DEAR FRIENDS For over 23 years, REACH Prep has guided students on a 12-year journey of academic and personal achievement leading ultimately to college completion. With a combination of steadfast determination, consistent hard work, and intellectual curiosity, our students harness their potential and thrive in and out of the classroom at some of the finest schools and colleges in the country. From the youngest students to the oldest alumni, they all share a deep appreciation for their transformative educational experiences and a commitment to leading the way for future Scholars. We are inspired by our Scholars’ persistence, accomplishments, and meaningful contributions to their communities. The New York Times recently reported that “black and Hispanic students are more underrepresented at the nation’s top colleges and universities than they were 35 years ago.” With 100% of REACH Prep students gaining acceptance into a 4-year college and over 90% of REACH Prep students graduating from college, our program model of access to a high-quality education serves as aproven and proud outlier to this disheartening trend.

    2019 Annual Report

    2019 ANNUAL REPORT oliverscholars.org 1 WELCOME Dear Friends of Oliver Scholars, 2019 was a year of significant changes and transformation for Oliver Scholars. We welcomed a new CEO, along with new members of our senior leadership team; we embarked on a strategic planning process to ensure the long-term sustainability of our institution; we expanded our outreach to include the CEO Salon Series; we launched new partnerships to help our college scholars and recent college graduates access expanded career opportunities; our work together was featured on CBS This Morning and CNN Heroes; and we began the process of reimagining and deepening our work with scholars, partner schools, parents, and alumni. Luckily, we did not have to start from scratch. The truth is that Oliver Scholars has a long track record of engaging with scholars and other stakeholders in ways that reflect the kind of care, intention, and thought you’d expect from any world-class youth-serving organization. Our current scholars and accomplished and engaged alumni often bear witness to the transformative impact this organization has had on their lives. Time and time again, as we spoke with members of this amazing community, there was one unifying word that showed up in every conversation: FAMILY. As an organization that is not only committed to opening new Dr. Danielle R. Moss educational pathways for our young people, but one that also has a Chief Executive Officer long-standing commitment to nurturing future generations of Black and Latinx leaders, Oliver Scholars often talk about the sense of family and deep connection that have become hallmarks of this organization over the last 35 years.

Following GM’s signed agreement in May for the sale of the property to a developer, that timing is the more optimistic view expressed by village officials. That perspective comes despite the Sleepy Hollow Village Trustees’ vote last month for a year’s extension to its Special Permit that originally required a developer to provide a site plan for the first phase of the project before September 4 of this year. While General Motors LLC and the developer, Lighthouse Landing Venture LLC, have an agreement, its details remain confidential and the property’s sale has not been officially completed. Once the developer takes over the property, a special, reduced “Payment-In-Lieu-Of-Taxes,” (PILOT), in effect since 1985, terminates and full taxation of the site resumes. The PILOT was arranged by Sleepy Hollow at that time in an effort to keep GM’s auto-making plant, with its thousands of jobs, operating in the village; however, GM closed the plant in 1996. Sleepy Hollow Mayor Ken Wray told The Hudson Independent that GM previously had Graduation 2014: Seniors from Irvington, Sleepy Hollow and Hackley celebrated informally requested an extension of the Special Permit, but that he had refused to consider their graduations in June.
