The Project
DayOneNotDayTwo aims to transform cultural paradigms and empower young people to address the systemic inequities and social marginalization that impact Black communities. To meet this mission, DayOneNotDayTwo hosts several programs to support young people in Greater Philadelphia, including:
- Ascension: A 24-week workshop that uses art to model, imagine, and advocate for liberation.
- Community AF!: A community apprentice fellowship that provides residents from North Philadelphia with a paid opportunity to learn solutions journalism and research-based community outreach strategies.
- Delaware County Youth Participatory Defense Hub: A weekly meeting space open to young people who have been impacted by the criminal legal system as well as their families and communities. The hub provides systems education, court support, mitigation services, resource referrals, and restorative intervention programming to help young people achieve the best possible outcome from their system involvement.
- Emotional Intelligence: A workshop series that enhances sensitivity to collective needs and promotes healing by fostering safe, respectful, and non-violent communities.
