Adults step back. Young people lead.
At Territory, young people envision the future of their neighborhood and built it.
Territory youth transform vacant land into space for intergenerational gatherings, breaking bread, art-making, mutual aid, honoring history and promoting social wellness.
The City Designed By Young People For Everyone
At Territory young people are designing and building human scaled spaces that bring people together for intergenerational understanding, overcoming stigma and making the community whole again.
