HarlemLive, began in early 1996, at the beginning of the internet
revolution, with just five students, one laptop, a digital camera,, and an
advisor, HarlemLive started expanding the lives of those involved by
teaching skills, while connecting the youth with opportunities in their
community and the world.

Since then, HarlemLive has trained hundreds of teens from throughout New
York City as journalists, web designers, photographers, administrators,
and public speakers.

We have constantly observed a rise in the students' expectations of what's
possible in their own growth and aspirations.  Students come to stay with
Harlemlive one or more years, building on their skills and increasing
their self confidence.

The youth have been written about in the Daily News, USA Today, Parade,
The New York Times and Yahoo!. The work done by the teens was honored at
the 1999 Computerworld Smithsonian Awards in Washington, D.C. They took
first place in the Media and Culture category in the 1999 Global Bangemann
Challenge, in Stockholm, Sweden. HarlemLive has been featured on news
shows by CNN and ABC. The students have been asked to present in Rome in
December 2000.
