Centering the Youth

Community Engagement at the Kingsbridge Armoury in the Bronx

Team: Candelaria, Sahana, Sara Susan, Tharika

How can the streets become extended spaces for the youth?

This will involve working with our stakeholders to co-design the street to spark activities that create meaningful connections between the schools and the youth-centered program that the Armory will host in the future. The engagement seeks to work in conjunction with one of the guiding principles of the Kings-bridge Vision plan- “To prioritize the youth”. This priority is interpreted as an opportunity to re-imagine the 195th street to provide access to safe spaces for children to learn, play and hang out collectively.
