Community Advocacy Programs

These are discrete initiatives, run in partnership with organizations throughout the City.  This Spring, we have teamed up with the Center for Urban Pedagogy on Chance or Choice!

We will select a diverse group of students will be selected to work with RAP and the Center for Urban Pedagogy on an exciting arts and media project exploring the way our City’s school system actually works! The crew will explore questions like:

  • Who decides where we go to school?
  • What rights to teens have in school?
  • How do charter schools work?

Teens will get to use photography, videography, illustration to create real peer education tools for activists and teens throughout the city, to help them learn about and take control of choices about their education!

How To Apply

Apply online or complete a hard copy of the application and return it to Cait Gillies by email (gillies@resiliencelaw.org) or by mail (Resilience Advocacy Project — 154 Grand Street  New York, NY 10013).

Deadline: February 27, 2012
