WHO WE ARE

About Us

LaVerne Bowen CEO

"While working as a letter carrier for the US Postal Service in the South Bronx, Bowen sprouted an idea that would change her life and the lives of many others. On her typical routes, Bowen noticed swaths of kids loitering on street corners. She quickly identified that they simply didn't enjoy any of the after-school activities available. Using her love of film, media, and the arts, she launched an after-school program in which kids could write and act out their own plays and movies at Julia Lynn Productions. Today she is winning grants, working with the New York Department of Education, and producing television programs led by local kids... she has succeeded in engaging youth and providing excellent and life-changing services to her community."
