This year’s Motivate the Students Back 2 School celebration was about more than backpacks 🎒 It was about making sure our young people walked into a new school year feeling supported, encouraged and motivated to succeed.

More than 2,500 backpacks, free physicals, haircuts, food, games, giveaways, music and a whole lot of community came together at Juanita Craft Recreation Center.

Major shoutout to MR 2700 🚧⚠️ for presenting this incredible event and continuing to invest in our young people.

And THANK YOU to every sponsor, donor, partner, volunteer and organization that contributed resources, time and support. This type of impact only happens when the community comes together.

📸 Check out some moments from an incredible day!

At Urban Specialists, we believe exposure creates opportunity. Our Next Steps Career Exploration Workshop gave students the chance to discover new career paths, connect with industry professionals, ask real questions, and gain valuable insight to help them plan for their future.

From construction and technology to leadership, entrepreneurship, project development and more, our goal was simple: equip, empower, and expose the next generation to what is possible.

We want to thank each of the professionals who took the time to pour into our students and share their experience:

Andrew Schendle, AECOM Hunt
Charles “Stew” Stewart, Turner Construction
Danielle Dunn, AECOM Hunt
Elina Win, AECOM Hunt
Elsa Brown, Copeland Contracting Co.
Eugene Walker, EJ Smith Construction
Italo Cruz, AECOM Hunt
LaRhonda Rogers, EJ Smith Construction
Magdalene Sandberg, ACARI Management Group
Shree Kabra, AECOM Hunt
Trelaine Mapp, Source Building Group

We also want to thank our partners Trinity Alliance, Dallas College, and Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Dallas for working alongside Urban Specialists to create meaningful opportunities for our young people.

When our youth have access, relationships, resources, and people willing to invest in them, their possibilities expand.

DISCOVER. CONNECT. SUCCEED.

This is what taking the NEXT STEP looks like. 🚀
