Project: SONYC Afterschool “Grateful Challenge” Poster for thanksgiving. Date: 2020 COMPASS NYC also known as SONYC for School’s Out NYC serves as a program for homeless facilities and middle school after-school activities. Structured like clubs, the model offers young people a choice in how they spend their time; provides rigorous instruction in sports and arts; and requires youth leadership through service. The City itself becomes a classroom through trips and opportunities for instruction beyond a traditional learning setting. To celebrate thanksgiving virtually, everyone was asked what they were grateful for; to emphasize optimism, unity, inclusivity and hopeful mindset moving forward.
