Based on what I read on New Urban Arts's website under "impact", they serve over 500 high school students each year, 25 emerging artists and over 3,000 visitors. The people NUA serves are young people. Out of the 30 seniors that walk in the doors of NUA, they give support to the young people who planned on attending college by partnering with College Visions so that their seniors could receive help with their college application, essay-writing, and FAFSA. For the others who do not have intention on furthering their education by going to college, NUA mentors work with community partners to present the "Not-College Fair" (a showcase of post-graduation programs, such as AmeriCorps and YearUp) to support these group of students after graduation. 02907 Demographics: According to the American FactFinder, there are about 50.5%(14,155) of male and 49.5%(13,858) of female while NUA gender category shows 34% male, 5% other, and 61% female.

My internship main approach to making social change is through campaigns. This approach is used to change certain laws that are not beneficial to the students of Providence. The approach to making social change relies heavily on enrolling Providence students, which is what my internship is struggling with.

Black Lives Matter is a sensitive topic to me personally because each person embraces it differently. I feel when explaining Black Lives Matter (BLM) to anyone, the individual should be conscious about what is being said and how it is explained. If I am to explain what is BLM to a young person, I will explain depending on what the individual wants to hear baring in mind that I do not know how this person will embrace my information.
