        COMMENDING  Resilient  Young  Minds, Inc. upon the
        occasion of hosting  its  Annual  I'm  So  Resilient
        Masquerade Gala on June 7, 2024

  WHEREAS,  It is the custom of this Legislative Body to recognize and
pay  tribute  to  those  enduring  organizations  which   devote   their
purposeful  energies  to  improving  the  quality and dignity of life of
those they serve; and

  WHEREAS, Attendant to such concern  and  in  full  accord  with  its
long-standing  traditions,  this  Legislative  Body  is  justly proud to
commend Resilient Young Minds, Inc. upon the  occasion  of  hosting  its
Annual  I'm  So  Resilient  Masquerade  Gala  on  June  7, 2024, at 1940
Rockaway Parkway, in Brooklyn, New York; and

  WHEREAS, Resilient Young Minds is a nonprofit  organization  founded
by Juanita Tom, an emotion regulation coach specializing in working with
kids and teens, which aims to teach at-risk youth between the ages of 10
and  17,  as  well  as  their  parents and young adults, how to overcome
trauma with strength and resilience to reach their full potential; and

  WHEREAS, Through tailored resilience retreats and  camps,  Resilient
Young  Minds  introduces  the  youth  and adults to new environments and
provides access to long-term mentorship and coaching; and

  WHEREAS, Resilience Camp, the primary  youth  program  of  Resilient
Young  Minds, selects 10-30 at-risk youth who have experienced traumatic
experiences and offers the experience of a one-week sleepaway camp; this
camp  teaches  social-emotional  learning,  hosts  self-esteem  building
workshops,  and  challenges  participants  to  identify  their trauma in
healthy, safe ways; through healing and  empowerment,  participants  can
overcome  their trauma and convert it into motivational tools to achieve
their goals; and

  WHEREAS,  This  vital  organization's  commitment  to  igniting  the
potential  of  its  youth  and positioning them for long-term success as
leaders in their communities is a testament to  the  dedication  of  its
caring  and capable staff, characterized in part by unbridled enthusiasm
and  an  uncompromising  standard  of  excellence  on  behalf   of   the
demographic and community it serves; and

  WHEREAS,  This  auspicious occasion presents an opportunity for this
Legislative Body to recognize and pay tribute to Resilient Young  Minds;
and

  WHEREAS,  It  is  the  sense  of  this  Legislative  Body  that when
organizations of such noble aims and accomplishments are brought to  our
attention,  they should be celebrated and recognized by all the citizens
of the great State of New York; now, therefore, be it

  RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its  deliberations  to
commend  Resilient  Young  Minds,  Inc. upon the occasion of hosting its

Annual I'm So Resilient Masquerade Gala on  June  7,  2024;  and  be  it
