A year in Review: Community Initiatives at the Brownsville Community Justice Center

* DON'T FORGET TO CLICK THE LINKS FOR MORE INFO!!!

Throughout 2016, the Justice Community program (a youth led program operating out of the Brownsville Community Justice Center) worked with residents, community leaders, and community stakeholders to face community challenges head on.

Brownsville youth (along with Crown Heights and Bed-Stuy youth) strove to become thought leaders in problem solving both personal and community issues, all while developing lasting relationships with staff, each other, and community stakeholders.  Participants even received stipends while they developed their skill sets.

Interest Based Workshops
In an attempt to strengthen their own development, move closer to their goals, and better position themselves to be community advocates, Justice Community participants confidently engaged in a variety of learning opportunities.  Participants selected interests, and then attended workshops to begin their journey to achievement.

At the start of the year, Brownsville youth identified neighborhood deficits and worked to build their own solutions to various challenges.

 - Work Readiness -
Participants then began attending work readiness workshops developed resumes, participated in mock interviews, practiced personal pitches, received professional dress attire, strengthened workplace etiquette, landed internships, earned vocational certifications (OSHA, Auto Cad, etc.), studied for (and passed) GED/TASC exams, and more.

Participants earned OSHA certifications and got hands on experience with tools


SQUAD!

- Young Adult Entrepreneurship Program -
Participants who enrolled in the Young Adult Entrepreneurship Program (YAEP) explored the entrepreneur mindset and learned how to create a brand, market themselves, manage finances, foster ideation, and more.  Participants in YAEP took their ideas a step further and also teamed up with The Knowledge House to learn the basics of coding so they could build websites to accompany their businesses.

PLACE BASED PROJECTS
As participants developed their own personal skill sets and goals, they also identified and tackled neighborhood issues.  Providing an alternate narrative to the short sighted reputation permeating Brownsville, youth physically transformed and activated spaces throughout the neighborhood.

 - Youth Club House -
Continuing the work of previous Justice Community cohorts, Justice Community participants designed, built, and activated a youth club house to address the need for more youth and community spaces in Brownsville.

Before construction was completed, we invited the community to watch a movie and relax in the new space

The plans are complete!

Participants built their own space to share with the community

Let's celebrate the grand opening!




In the spring of 2016, in a media and design workshop at the Brownsville Community Justice Center, a group of youth were tasked with observing and documenting their neighborhood through the lens of a camera. This group found that the most uplifting images were infused with light and showcased their favorite qualities of their community.
Installing kiosks for the photos of the best of Brownsville
The Best of Brownsville Photo Project is now a public art installation under the Livonia Avenue elevated train track. For 11 months, Brownsville youth worked with the Brownsville Community Justice Center to curate photographs taken by their neighbors on a rotating basis to publicly display them as the central aspect of the installation.

The final product!

A Holiday on Belmont Avenue

On Saturday, December 17th, members of the Justice Community and Justice Community Plus programs held the “A Holiday on Belmont Ave” event.  Created, planned, and executed by Brownsville Community Justice Center youth, participants expressed a strong desire to give back while also creating a space where the community can gather together and share some cheer going into the holiday season.  Participants distributed over 300 coats, hats, gloves, sweatshirts, and scarves! 
Come get fresh!!!
Inventory was stacked!

Justice Community participants got gifts too!
We were a gift giving Brownsville Community Justice Center Pop Up Shop!

TRIPS, GET-AWAYS, AND FUN
We are definitely not all work and no play though.  Participants enjoyed trips to parks, the Barclays, Six Flags Great Adventure, and more!!!

The Brownsville Community Justice Center and its Justice Community program looks forward to 2017 and graduating the next cohort of participants and continuing to strengthen the Brownsville family.
