Near Westside Teen Research Project
The teen research team was formed in the spring of 2019 as a partnership between the Syracuse Peacemaking Project and the Center for Community Design Research at SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry. The project has been funded through a “Community Conversations” grant from Americorp (formerly known as the Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS)).
The primary question the team chose to investigate was, “How does crime and violence affect the lives of people in the neighborhood?” Their findings shine light on the stories and impacts that represent the perspectives and insights of participating neighborhood residents as interpreted by teenagers, whose lives are also significantly affected.
