See the joy, the energy, and the unforgettable moments that made our 2025 Soirée the event of the season.

Why It Matters

For 17 years, Access Youth has helped keep DC students in school and out of the justice system through restorative justice, mentorship, and leadership development. When students are pushed out, we pull them in — with consistent, school-embedded support that improves attendance, strengthens behavior, and helps young people believe they belong.

But impact like this requires a community that shows up.

The 2026 Soirée supports Guiding Stars, our Monthly Giving Circle — sustained donors who ensure Program Managers remain in schools, conflicts are resolved, suspensions are prevented, and students cross the graduation stage.

Come celebrate.
Be inspired.
And if you're ready, become a Guiding Star.

Because one steady light can change a future. ✨
