Meet Bro/Sis youth member, Crystal - shes been in

Meet Bro/Sis youth member, Crystal - shes been in our Environmental Program for two years, and working at the Bro/Sis Green Youth Market for the first time this summer. Visit the link in our bio for market hours & details. ⁠
⁠
"My favorite part of working at the farmers market is interacting with customers and people from the community, and feeling like I'm giving back while learning new skills. It's a new experience to get me into the workforce, and it's really fun!"⁠

#SummeratBroSis highlights: Our Summer Day Campers

#SummeratBroSis highlights: Our Summer Day Campers had an engaging experience focused on art & activism & fused with photography, wellness, & the environment. Centered on exploring various diverse photographers & artists committed to social justice, members used inspiration from their learnings to create their photography, painting, & mixed media work throughout the summer. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Their culminating project, '𝐎𝐮𝐫 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐲,' a photography and visual arts exhibit, was on display at the #JohnnyHartmanPlaza in front of our headquarters. Over the next few weeks, we'll be sharing their photography on our social media channels - share your favorite shot with us using the hashtag #𝐎𝐮𝐫𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐲𝐄𝐱𝐡𝐢𝐛𝐢𝐭 & tag us! ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Our members' beautiful work is also on our website - check it out! We are so proud & hope you enjoy it. 📷 ⁠⠀

If you haven't already heard, Bro/Sis is up to maj

If you haven't already heard, Bro/Sis is up to major things! We are excited to share that our 𝐀𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐬𝐭 𝐢𝐧 𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐲 program's premiere collaboration with the iconic @carriemaeweems & @thepeacepoets - a public art & public health campaign - was installed outside of the @brooklynmuseum this weekend. 𝐓𝐚𝐠 𝐮𝐬 𝐝𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐯𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐭! ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
The campaign includes our alumni's poetry, The Peace Poets, on the Museum's entry steps, & PSA's featuring their poetry projected onto massive screens in front of the museum. 𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐝 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐞𝐧𝐭 @patch 𝐟𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐯𝐢𝐚 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐤 𝐢𝐧 𝐛𝐢𝐨. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
The poetry reads: "COVID 19 is not a hoax, the pre-existing condition is poverty; it is the plague of inequity, demand the space your dignity deserves."⁠⠀

Come through and support our growing youth-run far

Come through and support our growing youth-run farmers' market! The market is managed by the young people in our Environmental Program & runs every Weds until Nov 25, providing fresh food to over 2,000 community residents in an area deemed a food desert due to the lack of quality supermarkets and access to fresh produce.

This year, this is in addition to the over 200,000 meals we have provided during weekly food distributions to our youth and our community in response to the #COVID19 crisis. Visit us! 🥦⁠⠀
