A People’s Exhibition Event Series

Posted by New Kensington CDC on June 9, 2026

A People’s Exhibition Launches!
A space to learn, connect, and act on co-created solutions

As we approach America’s Semi-Quincentennial and national attention turns toward Philadelphia, partners from across the city are creating a welcoming space for residents, organizers, practitioners, advocates, and more to come together to learn, connect, and take co-created actions.

NKCDC invites everyone to join them for a citywide exhibit and engagement series to take a critical and honest look at key issues shaping Philadelphia today, to envision a more just and equitable future for our city, and to act on solutions that address our greatest challenges.

REMINDER: There are stipends available for up to 25 people each month between June and October. Teens are eligible to participate and can receive $200 for participation in 4 total events (3 events in one month + 1 event in another month).

Participants can sign up using this link to receive stipends for their participation in our summer series. More information can be found about the stipends and “A People’s Exposition” at the NKCDC website: http://www.nkcdc.org/a-peoples-exposition/

One key event that is ideal for young people to attend:

June 24th: School Closures Summit and roundtable discussion
We’re looking to convene a group of youth in a roundtable conversation with Kevin Bethel, Police Commissioner, Isaiah Thomas of City Council, and a rep from the School District to discuss the upcoming school closures and how schools can better address youth violence/safety issues.
