neighbors helping neighbors

Our project partners and facilitators

LISC Newark's Neighbors Helping Neighborhoods grant funded four community media cohorts across the South and West Wards of Newark, New Jersey. Most coverage of Newark comes from outside Newark. We wanted to know what changes when residents pick up the camera instead. Turns out it's not only the footage. They don't just document the neighborhood. They start to see it differently themselves.
