Getting out of the classroom with CUP!

Take a closer look at our Youth Education programs in process!

This winter students are getting out of the classroom to delve deeper into social justice questions from all sides of the issues. 

Students from the Bronx School for Law, Government, and Justice are investigating who gets prosecuted for marijuana and who profits from the system. They recently interviewed representatives from Smart Approaches to Marijuana to find out (pictured above).

To investigate who profits from prisons and jails, students from Bushwick Leaders' High School interviewed stakeholders from the Corrections Accountability Project, the Prisoner Reentry Institute, the Marshall Project, and the NYC Comptroller's Office.

Stakeholder interviews are a way for students to develop critical thinking and interview skills, as well as to learn about their city directly from the people who shape it.

Stay tuned for more updates on students' final projects!
