Braddock Redux

To mobilize teens, young adults, and likeminded people of all ages from both within and outside the community for the purpose of the overall betterment of the Braddock area through employment and training opportunities, art initiatives, green initiatives, the creative re-use of existing structures, and through the flexibility to respond to other opportunities that arise.

According to the 2000 census, Braddock has the highest childhood poverty rate in Allegheny County, minus the city of Pittsburgh. Youth living in the Tri-Boro area are twice as likely to exhibit antisocial behaviors than other youth in Pennsylvania. Braddock Redux engages this population of at-risk youth directly. We host social activities for youth, create connections with artists and green organizations to provide unique experiences, and assist organizations, like the Braddock Youth Project, that provide high quality employment and training experiences to young people.
