Our Projects 

Our YDS co-designed, created and installed our first project this Autumn in Lawndale, together with partners at Resolver Studio and Douglas Park Creative Space!

12 Lawndale Youth. 24 hours together. Powerful, deep work facilitated by Maraliz Salgado based on the F.L.Y.L.I.B.R.E. framework, aimed at dismantling the systemic ways we internalize racism, offering visions of unity & solidarity between black and brown people, and practicing affirming ways to practice both collective healing and individual liberation.

APL is a youth participatory action research project where young people of Lawndale begin "unlearning Cermak."

One Lawndale Youth Unity Project 2026 will leverage the best of our learnings and community collaborations so that beginning June of 2026 Lawndale adolescents will engage in powerful programming that heals, builds towards a united Lawndale, impacting hearts, minds and the block.
