Approximately 30 IMPACT youth will participate in the Town Hall Project. IMPACT's Arts & Leadership Program serves youth, ages 12 to 19, mainly from Harlem. Most are young people of color. The young people with whom we work face myriad challenges to their healthy development, including; poverty, failing schools, violence in their homes and neighborhoods, high unemployment among youth of color, substance use, housing instability, institutional racism, sexism, and heterosexism.
IMPACT TOWN HALL – What We Do Now Matters Forever
the steps
IMPACT youth will work with leaders and staff to plan a series of town hall talks and events. They will reach out to guest speakers, create materials, and receive training in questioning and discussion techniques. With the help of staff and consultants, they will learn to set up audiovisual materials and receive tech support for virtual and onsite sessions. Through the process, youth will develop and rehearse work new materials into the IMPACT Repertoire.
why we're doing it
IMPACT youth have experienced a disproportionate impact from the COVID pandemic based on their race, socioeconomic status, and location in Harlem. In addition to coping with the COVID, our young people struggle with the death of young Black Americans and witness the global, national, and local attention on equality and racial justice. The Town Hall Project is a multi-platform series of actions to give agency to Harlem Youth to organize and participate in discussions on crucial issues to them and their community.
