Newburgh Is The Movement (2020)

Since 1946 there has been an organization dedicated to youth in and around Newburgh, New York. The Boys & Girls Club of Newburgh (BGCN), continues to be an essential piece of the fabric of our community. Most recently, in a ground-breaking collaboration with the City of Newburgh, BGCN hired sixty City of Newburgh youth to explore social and cultural values in their community through the creation of a thought-provoking mural series and banner installation. Audrey Carey Park, named for Newburgh and New York State's first, black female mayor, provided the canvas for this effort to engage youth in a meaningful community improvement project.

The Boys and Girls Club of Newburgh is a living legacy of four generations of black leadership. Its commitment to social justice and the young people of our community is essential, now more than ever.

This initiative was made possible through the generous support of the Ohnell Family Foundation.
