From Private Equity to NYU Law: A Barrier Breakers Success Story 🌟

video preview
“I came into the law school process with experience in private equity and social impact investing — but I didn’t yet have a cohesive story.
Working with my advisor, Glenn, helped me connect my family history and professional experiences into a powerful narrative that spoke to my purpose.
That story helped me get into my dream school — NYU Law — and Barrier Breakers has continued to mentor and connect me with leaders in my field ever since.
I wouldn’t be here without them.”
Blake, 1L, NYU School of Law

Help Us Meet Our End-of-Year Goal!

Together, we’re raising $100,000 to expand our programs and reach even more first-generation and low-income students across the country.

Your generosity keeps our Trenton partnership thriving, fuels new Impact Hubs in communities like Philadelphia, Miami, and beyond, and helps students like Blake turn their dreams into reality.

Whether you choose to give one-time, monthly, or quarterly, or contribute through a Donor-Advised Fund or check, your support sustains this work year-round.

Every dollar moves us closer to a world where every student — no matter where they start — has the opportunity to access higher education, mentorship, and the support they need to thrive.
