What if I told you that your gift today could transform a young person's future while building a more equitable New York City?
Recently we heard from Jamal, a high school sophomore from the Bronx who joined our CLARIFY program with limited confidence in his writing abilities. After just eight weeks of participating in the program, Jamal along with students in his cohort published his first investigative piece about housing conditions in his neighborhood. "For the first time," he said, "I feel like my voice matters."
At City Limits, we believe every young New Yorker deserves the opportunity to develop their voice and prepare for future success. That’s why since 2015, we've empowered over 600 youth from low-income communities across all five boroughs through hands-on journalism training in our youth program, CLARIFY—but the need far exceeds our reach.
This is where you come in.
We are close to reaching our goal to fully fund this summer’s six week internship program. Will you help us close the gap and reach $7,000 by June 30th?
When you support CLARIFY, you're not just funding a program—you're investing in helping a NYC youth to develop critical thinking and college readiness skills, while amplifying underrepresented voices. Your contribution, at any amount, opens doors of opportunity for these students.
Please visit CityLimits.org/get-involved to make your tax-deductible gift today. The future of our city depends on empowering youth like Jamal.
