Youth Construct’s 2025 graduation was nothing short of extraordinary. Held at the stunning Amazon JFK Hangar, the evening set a bold tone for what’s ahead. Thanks to the creative vision from Simply Events, the event space was transformed into a celebration worthy of our graduates’ achievements.
The evening was guided by the energy and charm of Justin Pack, Amazon’s Principal IXT Business Partner, who served as our host and kept spirits high all night long.
One of the most powerful moments came from Carrie Torres, Director of the Opportunity Programs Group at DASNY, who delivered an unforgettable keynote. A longtime friend and champion of Youth Construct, Carrie encouraged our graduates to embrace change, believe in their worth, and take their rightful seat at any table—with grit, confidence, and courage.
From heartfelt speeches to proud families and joyful students, the night was filled with celebration, reflection, and inspiration. The future is in good hands—and Cohort ’25 proved it.
