Be On Belmont

At Made in Brownsville (MiB) we want to become the largest employer of youth in Brownsville. We seek to increase access to creative and tech fields for youth in Brownsville, Brooklyn through employment and apprenticeship around design projects that challenge the local narrative of violence and chronic disease. This collective visioning approach to community development empowers residents to find and implement solutions to the challenges they face. Innovation lies in valuing and compensating our youth for lending and building their expertise and taking on these challenges as designers for common good.
