Activists Coming to Inform Our Neighborhood (A.C.T.I.O.N) is a teen community leadership program of THE POINT CDC. The program engages
stipended young people who work to identify social and environmental justice issues facing the Hunts Point section of the South Bronx with the
goal of creating and implementing ongoing youth-led solutions. Working together with community members and fellow community organizations, A.C.T.I.O.N.
serves as a community link for the re-envisioning of Hunts Point. We implement grassroots techniques in community planning and policy, and disseminate
such information to the community. A.C.T.I.O.N. serves as role models for positive change for the current generation in Hunts Point.
Youth Ministries for Peace and Justice
Youth Ministries for Peace and Justice has as its goal the leadership development and formation of young people for a life of
peace and justice. We have found that the key to a successful youth development program is to be able to engage youth and inspire them to
leadership through civic participation, while remaining attentive to their multiple developmental needs. Our goal for youth leadership is that
it be geared towards activism and civic engagement. We work for the eventual rebuilding of this community in the South Bronx and molding leaders
who are capable of leading change here and in the world.
