Thirteen youth (ages 14 to 19) in East Harlem, NYC, engaged in a photovoice project depicting their hopes and dreams for health and well-being in their community. Zoelene Hill, Ph.D., of the New York Academy of Medicine, led the project in which youth took photographs and told their stories to uplift youth voices, visions, and strategies for improving health and well-being in their community. The panels from the project will become part of a mobile art installation that will be featured in buildings and offices across East Harlem.
