The Possibility Project empowers NYC teenagers to transform the negative forces in their lives and communities into positive action. Led by teenagers working in collaboration with professional artists, our four programs allow youth to build durable relationships across differences, resolve conflicts without violence, engage in positive community action, and develop real-world leadership skills. To achieve this impact, each group of participants writes and performs a full-length original musical based on their lives and ideas for change, and designs and executes community action projects on issues they care about. Since 2001, The Possibility Project has served more than 1,500 teenagers from over 100 schools, 18 foster care agencies, and 15 justice institutions in all five boroughs of the city; produced and performed 40 original musicals for more than 65,000 audience members; and facilitated the creation of more than 85 youth-led community action projects.
