As we wrap up this fiscal year, we want to give a heartfelt thank you to our wonderful spring intern, Nurjahan! 💐 Her creativity and dedication brought so much to our content, workshops, and our salon at Index. It’s been such a joy having her on the team! Though we’ll miss her dearly, we’re cheering her on as she heads into her next college adventures. Keep soaring, Nurjahan! ✨ #artseducation #teachingartistproject #CUNY (fb)

Special appreciation to our incredible impact speaker Kayla Dike, whose powerful words reminded us why our mission matters. Thank you to musicians NATIE, Jashua Sa-Ra, Bella Hubbard and Okai for filling the evening with inspiring performances, and to all our amazing students from In-Tech Academy, IS 126Q, and PS 84, PS 85, and Bronx Envision Academy who shared their creative voices and showed why Community-Word Project has been transforming lives for 25 years.
