Abstract
A senior project that focuses on The Brotherhood/SisterSol, a holistic after-school program in West Harlem that promotes environmental education, social justice and self-awareness. Through their environmental approach and focus on pan-African and Latinx history, the program is able to cultivate a sense of belonging, worth and hope for the future for the "at-risk" youth they serve. The role of public schools, governmental initiatives, race/class disparities and after-school programming throughout history in New York City are also examined.
