UNITY (Uplifting Neighborhoods and Inspiring Tomorrow’s Youth)

To inspire resilience and positivity, keeping hope alive in every challenge, and empowering individuals to believe in brighter possibilities for a better tomorrow.

BOSS

Our mission is not to create but to collaborate and make this solution happen. We feel that sometimes when we innovate things fall apart and if you don’t have the proper foundation or partnership, it will fall apart. This is a very sensitive issue that it’s not about innovation it’s about working towards this safety for our community.

Excel Through YOU (Your Own Uprising)

Excel Through Y.O.U. believes that everyone should call home a place that is safe. We want to break the barriers that leave our community in a cycle of fear and violence because it starts with Y.O.U. (Your Own Uprising).

I challenge you to create an initiative dedicated to combating hate by building community and equipping the public with the skills to challenge internal and external biases.

S.T.O.P. H.A.T.E.

We the S.T.O.P.H.A.T.E team envision a world where middle schoolers that are transitioning to high school are equipped with information to help combat hate crimes. We believe that starting the implementation of interactive and engaging workshops in adolescence ages 10-13, who are about to start their high school career, will instill the information and help bring down the overall hate crime statistics.

The LabBratz

The vision of Bedford Academy is to change and inform the inherent bias of the Black community and make a change with a focus on Black women in the medical community. Our goal is to build and nurture a culture to which our queens in the community can feel heard and seen.

Project485: Discrimination Across Our Nation

We are Discrimination Across Our Nation! A project started by your local Brooklyn High School Students at East Williamsburg Scholars Academy. Our goal is to target hate crime by creating an effective solution against it. Our team was tasked with the mission to combat various forms of discrimination, including racial, religious, gender-based, and LGBTQ+ discrimination.

FIRA: Former Inmates Recovery Association

We aspire to promote a community that assists formerly incarcerated people. We believe in giving a second chance to those who are struggling and helping the community to realize that the stigma of being incarcerated should be lifted.

Build a Life

We envision that the people in Brownsville will use our project as an opportunity to have a better life after they are incarcerated.

A.G.A.I.N

We envision a future in which all people who have been incarcerated can find a way to reconnect to their community and feel welcomed.
