HSI Explorer Post 601 is committed to equipping young people from diverse backgrounds with meaningful life and professional skills through hands-on career experiences and mentorship. The program fosters character and professional development, empowering Explorers to reach their full potential in school, the workforce, and beyond. Explorers are challenged to grow into confident, capable leaders through structured physical training, discipline, and real-world guidance. Advisors also support them with college applications, career planning, and personal development.

The Post offers young adults a unique introduction to law enforcement and government service, focusing on the mission of Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) to protect the United States and ensure public safety. Explorers gain firsthand exposure to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) responsibilities while learning the values of honor, service, and integrity. Our outreach extends across the diverse neighborhoods of the New York City Metropolitan Area, providing access to mentorship from federal agents who are invested in shaping the next generation of leaders. HSI Explorer Post 601 gives youth the tools, knowledge, and experiences needed for future success.
