Uptown Summer

In collaboration with Rensselaer County Summer Youth Employment, Uptown Summer is a 5-week program that gives voice to Rensselaer County teens. Youth work side-by-side with community leaders, media professionals, renowned artists, college professors, scientists, historians, and many others. We work together to address the environmental damage done to this block through years of neglect and industrial pollution and to tell homegrown stories of hope and justice.
