Organization: After All, at Harlem Link Charter

Project Name: News Crew: Reporting by Students for All

Project ID: 134

Neighborhood/Communities that the project will serve: CB Manhattan 10 (Central Harlem)

Borough: Manhattan

Project Description: Our News Crew program provides our elementary school students the chance to be their own interviewers and stars by running a bi-weekly, peer-to-peer newscast for kids, by kids! Students plan, script, perform, and record each session for our whole network, with the video editing help and creative support of their teachers.

Voting for this project will provide our students extra time with our creative teachers in scripting and recording sessions, along with providing some equipment for our students to use at-home and in mentorship with our teaching artists.

This project is providing our students further opportunity to be together in a safe, self-made space while learning remote; while practicing their public speaking skills and getting the opportunity to lead students of their own age, younger, and older in conversations about what's on their minds.We're just so grateful and inspired to be part of this process of centering youth action and voice alongside so many other awesome organizations and groups. However they vote, we're so excited to be part of our students' first experience of speaking to power by voting!

What Youth are saying about the organization: We have a small, but dedicated group of students -- they attend our afterschool program every day whether at home, in the car, at Target, or even at the dentist! "I gotta come to afterschool every day, I just gotta," our unofficial MC Jaden, a fourth grader, always says.
