Photovoice: Photography for East Harlem Youth
Scope: East Harlem
Budget: $40,000
In order to truly allow for youth and community voices to be heard (and seen), this project proposes to arm participants with training and guidance on using photography to document the environment in which they live. The project will culminate in an exhibition (that can be moved and taken for display in multiple locations) and will aim to shine a light on the future possibilities of a more equitable East Harlem. Finally, the exhibition will be the impetus for future engagements with the community, and will act as a launching pad for an impactful initiative inspiring an insightful look at the community, executed by the community.

Resource and Job Fair
Scope: East Harlem
Budget: $40,000
Through both the community needs assessment, and decades of working as a unified collective in East Harlem, HSCEH has made hundreds of connections with organizations, businesses, and people who consistently strive to make East Harlem a more equitable space. This project will tap into that reservoir of connections to ultimately host a space where all of East Harlem is invited to learn, and ultimately benefit from resources that are available to everyone. This will include employment opportunities for attendees as potential employers will be invited to join and encourage applications.
