Our Story

In the year 2017 a group of graduate and undergraduate students came together to form what we call today Sky Academy. Their visions were to help their own communities here in the greater New York City Area or commonly known as North Jersey. They set out to gather young high school students in events and programs which aimed at students’ academic and social skills. They developed a range of programs like Sky Talks, Friendship Picnics, and much more. In the year 2018 with Sky Academy growing at a large rate the founders and executives decided to continue expanding into other factors of life like Spirituality, Dialogue, College Counseling, and other areas. The number of Mentors and Students under Sky Academy grew at a high rate. The students range from elementary to High School and the number of students being in the 600s. Today in 2020 Sky Academy has successfully provided events like Summer and Winter Retreats, Weekly Mentee Advising, Counseling Sessions, fun trips and activities. Sky Academy has also established genuine relationships with Brother or sister organizations and together hosted events with Peace Islands Institute, Embrace Relief, and Turkish Cultural Center. In 2020 while the Covid-19 pandemic had struck Sky Academy even opened their own YouTube channel which they streamed live episodes for 30 days straight and posted many other videos. They gathered thousands of viewers together every day and had fun competitions online. Sky Academy also started their own unique educational podcast called “The Cup of Chai” for students to listen to when they’re at home which is also posted on their YouTube channel. Sky Academy ever since the beginning has always focused on universal values, educating the youth, and keeping the youth active through Social, Academic and Spiritual activities or events. Mentors give their countless hours to coordinate and plan yearly schedules and objectives to help enhance youth development in their communities.
