Harlemlive

Description

HarlemLive, a nonprofit 501c3 organization, was created in 1996 by a former New York City public school teacher, Richard Calton. He was responding to a need: With dwindling funding for high school newspapers, fewer teenagers in low-income neighborhoods were being exposed to journalism at an age when they might become interested and motivated to consider communications a career goal. The first students to join HarlemLive came from a few junior high schools. Today, there are more than 60 students enrolled in the program, hailing from over 30 schools throughout the five boroughs of New York. For three of its six years, HarlemLive was based in an office on 111th Street and 5th Avenue in East Harlem, sharing space in a computer center called Playing To Win, and before that, in a basement office at Teachers College, Columbia University.
