Conversation with the Commissioners 2023

On November 13, 2023, over 400 students attended our event at the Forum at Columbia University to have a discussion with eight key New York City commissioners. Schools in attendance submitted questions in advance to ask the commissioners, and the conversation was moderated by two youth ambassadors from TCIONY's Teaching a Generation (TAG) Program. TAG ambassadors also presented an award to each commissioner for their service to the city and its young people. This event gave NYC students the opportunity to use their voices to gain an understanding of what city commissioners do and tell their city's leaders what is important to them.
