The Josephine Herrick Project has launched its spring slate of free photography programs across New York City, expanding into several new sites including the Brooklyn Veteran Center, the Harlem Veteran Center and the HOPE Center Harlem, the nonprofit said.
The organization, which teaches photography to underserved communities, said its spring terms opened in February at two Queens schools, the International High School at LaGuardia Community College and Flushing International High School. Its first spring veterans program began the following day at the Brooklyn Veteran Center, which the nonprofit described as a new location for the project in 2026.
A cross-generational program at the HOPE Center Harlem was set to begin March 10 and remained open for enrollment, according to the organization, which asked prospective participants to email the project for details. The nonprofit said it would return in April to the Lorge School in Chelsea, which serves students with learning and emotional disabilities.
Year-round programming embedded at P396K—Sid Miller Academy and East Side Community School would continue into the spring with the same group of students from the fall 2025 cohort, the project said.
On the veterans side, the organization said programming at the Queens Veteran Center and Staten Island Veteran Center was scheduled to start in March. In April, it planned to begin a program at the Harlem Veteran Center, which it called a new 2026 partnership, along with a hybrid program based at the Bronx Vet Center. The nonprofit said it would also offer additional half-day photowalk workshops with the Wounded Warrior Project later in the spring, and directed those interested in open enrollment for veterans programs to contact its veterans programming staff by email.
The project said its programs typically run eight to 10 weeks, with some variation, and that most of this season’s cohorts would conclude as the city moved into longer days and warmer weather.
