art TO PROMOTE POSITIVITY

“The Purpose Project is really good for helping you explore or reach for what you want to pursue, for the future or maybe even career-wise.”

Zharia experimented with creating art pieces that overlayed images onto faces. Zharia was inspired with the expectations and realities of self image and the Purpose Project gave her the opportunity to teach herself projection photography through online tutorials.

gender equity in sports

“I feel like I’m changing the school for the better and giving people a voice when they were too scared. I'm making a difference on campus.”

Jordan created a school-wide petition and collected student stories through interviews and surveys. Her efforts led to the creation of a student board where students would be able to provide feedback to administrators on situations that arise regarding gender inequality and to ensure that each student’s voice is heard.

Music to uplift spirits

“I wanted to find a way to use music to help other people so I made a group that’s focused on giving back— playing not for ourselves but for others.”

He is an avid cello player and believes that “music can help people get through whatever they are going through”. The Purpose Project gave him the inspiration to bring his music to others, forming a group of musicians who play in children’s centers and hospitals around the Bronx and Jersey.
