All across the United States, young people face an opportunity gap. Not at Groundswell.

These days, as the Executive Director of Groundswell, I am all about numbers. But sometimes, you just have to trust the container of the heart to capture the impact of hope.

We invite you to come out and celebrate the achievements of Groundswell's teen artists, as we unveil our summer murals and mark the end of SLI 2013.

This week, the City of New York announced that Groundswell has been awarded a prestigious $100,000 Our Town grant to support a transformative mural project.

Eight months after Superstorm Sandy, many in our community are still suffering the aftereffects of this devastating storm.

On June 4, Groundswell had the privilege of being asked to share our work at Partnering for Impact: Innovative Collaborations for Effective Change, a conference and exhibition celebrating partnerships between grassroots community organizations and resource groups.

Following the devastation of Hurricane Sandy, too many of our fellow New Yorkers feel like they don't have a voice.

Groundswell teens eagerly anticipate college acceptance letters and gear up for their Portfolio closing exhibition on Friday, May 17 from 5-7PM.

As the season draws to a close, our summer Marketing Intern reflects on her experience working for Groundswell's Communications and Development Department.

On Friday, July 13, Groundswell launched this year’s pilot Youth Media Council with great success.  The Council is made up of one youth representative from each of our seven Summer Leadership Institute projects currently underway.
