HarlemLIVE

Hey Everyone!
Here's a little letter to those interested in joining the HarlemLive staff! HarlemLIVE, in case you haven't noticed, is an online magazine created, edited, and produced by NYC TEENS. We are journalists, photographers, web designers, videographers, editors, public speakers, and all around a group of ambitious, creative, and energetic young people who look to make an IMPACT on the scene of contemporary media.

What Makes HL Different?
As most of you have already been told, HarlemLIVE is different from other "youth organizations" in that we are actually a YOUTH ORGANIZATION, meaning FUELED and MANAGED by the YOUTH!!! Most other youth orgs are actually run by adults when you pay attention; the teens are merely pawns in a chess game. They don't manage, control, or completely produce -- anything. That is the very opposite here at HarlemLive. The utter creative freedom you have to express yourself in any way positively imaginable is wonderful. But then again, I suppose you'd have to come in yourself to see.

Can I Get Community Service Hours? Paid?
Yes, you can. During the summer, our staff gets paid through SYEP (Summer Youth Employment Program) and during the school year, you get community service hours, so no matter what time of year it is, you're always benefiting from something substantial. Besides this, the contacts, experience, and freedom of creative expression are just extraordinary. You'll barely even notice you're volunteering!

So When Do I Start?
If you're interested in joining come by and meet the staff, get acquainted, get a feel of the place, etc. Please email us back or give us a call to let us know you want to stop by!
