Project Partners

Since our inception, we have hosted various partners who have addressed aspects of community wellbeing—such as a sense of belonging, identity, empowerment, and history.

Some of these projects include:

• The 17th Annual OCA-NY Hate Crimes Prevention Art Project, which convenes young people from across NYC to raise awareness about hate crimes and uses art as an empowerment tool to combat discrimination. Teenage interns decide the theme of the contest, pitch the contest to youth citywide, judge the art submissions, and plan for the opening of an exhibition. June 2023 - August 2023
