CityKids programs bring to life the focus on "our voices, our issues, our words."
In our Leonard Street Center in downtown Manhattan, schools across the City and performance venues around the country, we bring together young people from different racial, cultural, and socioeconomic backgrounds; challenge them to address difficult issues that affect youth; and partner with them to produce solutions filled with their energy and creativity.
CityKids vehicles for communicating these issues include leadership training workshops and courses, original live musical and theatrical performances, community improvement projects, community-based workshops, leadership conferences and youth-directed and facilitated dialogue sessions. All CityKids programs are youth-driven – created for youth by youth – to ensure they reflect the real needs, ideas, and visions of youth.
In 2007, more than 600 youth participated directly in CityKids programs, and CityKids performances, workshops, and community improvement projects touched the lives of tens of thousands of additional young people.
Target Population: CityKids programming targets New York City public school youth ages 13 to 19. |
