The CUNY School of Professional Studies (CUNY SPS) Youth Studies program launches our 2023 programming with an in-depth conversation examining the ways that New York City policies have supported youth agencies, and what's changed for the needs of the future.
Instructor Lumumba Akinwole-Bandele, organizer with the Malcolm X Grassroots Movement and an adjunct lecturer at CUNY SPS, moderates this virtual conversation with panelists Jason Warwin and Majida Abdul-Karim focused on the NYC Youth service landscape of the early 1990s. This era experienced a significant amount of organizations servicing the diverse youth population throughout NYC. We will examine the city policies that supported the many youth organizations around the city and answer questions like:
- Where are they now?
- How the landscape has shifted?
- What valuable lessons were learned?
- How that time has informed youth service provision today?
Jason Warwin is the Co-Founder and Associate Director at Brotherhood Sister Sol. Majida Abdul-Karim is a former staff member at The Valley, and is also a former principal at a New York City high school.
