The Community Service Learning (CSL) initiative is a program hosted by Another Choice Youth and Family Outreach, in partnership with Isaac’s Quarterly, LLC, and The Reentry Theater of Harlem. This initiative aims to inspire and equip youth and young adults, ages 16-24, from diverse programs including the Summer Youth Employment Program (SYEP), Youth Action YouthBuild, and adults from Housing Works. Through a blend of community service and digital media education, participants engage in valuable experiences that foster community connections and instill crucial skills for personal and professional development.
EMPOWERING THROUGH SKILLS
The CSL initiative goes beyond traditional service programs, incorporating a unique focus on digital design and documentary filmmaking. Participants receive hands-on training in these creative domains, enabling them to capture and convey compelling stories that resonate with the heart of East Harlem. This integration of technical skills empowers our youth to make a meaningful impact while honing their abilities in an increasingly digital world.
FACILITATING DIALOGUE AND CHANGE
At the heart of the CSL initiative lies a mission to catalyze open discussions and collaborative solutions. By working closely with the youth and young adults, our goal is to address critical issues such as poverty and violence within the vibrant tapestry of New York City. Through their voices and insights, we seek to gain a deeper understanding of public safety concerns and identify the essential resources, tools, and skills that will guide them towards a path of success and resilience.
PARTNERSHIP FOR PROGRESS
The CSL initiative stands strong through valuable partnerships with renowned youth organizations like Youth Action YouthBuild, Operation Fight Back, and Housing Works. Together, we form a united front, driven by a shared commitment to uplifting the lives of our youth and transforming communities for the better.
