Budget Vigils at New York City Hall
As the New York City Council and Mayor negotiate the FY ‘09 City budget, the CTW has been a daily presence on the steps of City Hall, advocating for funding that serves disconnected youth. To see our budget priorities, visit the Resoruces/Documents section of this website.
Many organizations and individuals have joined us in the effort to express a strong and unified voice in support of our programs and young people. Most importantly, young people who participate in programs targetting disconnected youth have also been present to advocate for themselves and their peers. Pictured below are two youth from Brooklyn, Jennifer and Jenna, who attend one of the programs provided by Opportunities for a Better Tomorrow (OBT).
