The purpose of this Lab is to imagine new futures for the youth in Harlem. Our goal is to generate ideas to support the great work that many organizations are already doing.
Our Lab focused on how to create a collaborative platform building upon the work of individuals and local organizations, aiming at defining methods and tools to be used in the design of new community-led services and initiatives. We have decided to use the youth perspective because we perceived youth as a vulnerable population that needs to be empowered to become a part of building the future of their neighborhood.
