The New York City Civic Engagement Commission is holding free Idea Generation Workshops across all five boroughs through Wednesday, November 18, inviting residents to develop ideas for community projects that could be funded through the city budget as part of The People’s Money, the city’s citywide participatory budgeting process.
At the workshops, residents learn about the city budget, discuss needs in their communities and work together to come up with project ideas that could receive city funding. The sessions are free, open to the public, and all New Yorkers are eligible to take part. Multiple workshops are taking place each day through November 18.
The workshops are run by community partners trained by the commission, including the League of Women Voters of the City of New York, the Center for Independence of the Disabled, New York (CIDNY) and the New York Public Interest Research Group (NYPIRG), among others.
