This program took place in the fall of 2023-24
Y.O. is a paid program for high school students aimed at fostering youth leadership through arts and culture to drive long-term systemic change and environmental justice in Hunts Point, The Bronx, and beyond. Participants collaborate with THE POINT CDC educators and artists, along with community members, other community-based environmental justice groups, and more, to create ongoing, creative, youth-led solutions for issues impacting the Hunts Point neighborhood. Y.O. members receive training in civic leadership, art, culture, media, and environmental justice.
In our Y.O. Fall 2023 Issue, we explore strategies for social change, featuring voices from those driving it. Download and view with the link below.
