Red Hook Initiative (RHI) believes that social change to overcome systemic inequities begins with empowered youth. In partnership with community adults, they nurture young people in Red Hook to be inspired, resilient and healthy, and to envision themselves as co-creators of their lives, community and society. They envision a Red Hook where all young people can pursue their dreams and grow into independent adults who contribute to their families and community.
RHI operates Red Hook Farms, a youth-centered urban agriculture and food justice program operating one of Brooklyn’s largest farms.
