Brooklyn Org is proud to fund impactful work across our communities
Provides therapy, case management, court advocacy, and restorative justice circles as well as everyday needs like groceries, haircuts, and daily-living support in a trusted drop-in space for young men affected by gun violence and incarceration.
Uses fashion, sewing, and entrepreneurship workshops to help youth from underserved communities build confidence and explore careers in fashion, media and design.
Provides young people with marketable hard skills in STEAM like graphic and web design, and access to post-secondary education in order to achieve economic mobility and engage in community revitalization.
Provides advocacy, mentorship, and wraparound support for young people impacted by the carceral system, working in detention facilities and communities to provide reentry support, court advocacy, a youth law library, family coaching, and a mobile outreach bus that brings resources directly to neighborhoods.
Builds pathways for young people to actively shape democracy through peer-led, issue-driven civic engagement led by students and educators.
