Strengths-based and interests-honoring at its best! 🌟 Here are just some of the many, many highlights from this week co-facilitating Transit Quest—a summer camp for neurodivergent teens who are passionate about trains and transit at the New York Transit Museum. The 20 young folks connected and joked and debated and had a blast because an environment was created for them that was socially safe and sensorily supported, where they could engage in their area of interest and expertise with others. So whether you think the R211 is revolutionary subway model... or breakdown-ridden hype, everyone has a place at Transit Quest. Big thanks to NYTM and the other kind, committed, creative facilitators... and to the awesome teens ❤️

Visit us in Downtown Brooklyn, Thursday through Sunday, 10am to 4pm! 🚂 “Streetscapes and Subways: Photographs by Pierre P. and Granville W.
