Learn how to turn found bike parts into working bicycles & build your own bike. For more info call Christian at (917) 582-9010. To get more involved, come to open meetings an hour before the bikeshop (5pm) on Wednesdays.

Come check out the In Our Hearts Infoshop and Lending Library. Borrow books or purchase radical books, magazines and t-shirts.

Come to 123 to help work on the garden and patio in the backyard. Bring clothes that you don't care about getting dirty, and tools if you have them! All ages are welcome.

This is a monthly volunteer training that is mandatory for anyone who would like a key to the space as well as for anyone who will be staffing one of the programs at 123.

General meeting mostly for volunteers, but open to all.

The deal, as always, is that you come bringing only yourself (and your friends and comrades), and we provide you with a delicious vegan meal, information about a political prisoner or group of prisoners as well as all of the letter-writing materials and prisoner-letter-writing info you could ever want to use in one evening. In return, you write a thoughtful letter to a political prisoner or prisoner of war of your choosing or, better yet, keep up a long-term correspondence. Alternating Tuesdays at 7pm.

Every Wednesday from 3-6pm, a crew of volunteers helps neighborhood youth maintain their own garden plots. If you're a young person, come by to sign up! If you're an adult, come by to volunteer, especially if you're a parent from the neighborhood!

Bed-Stuy Block Party is a neighborhood celebration of music, art, and community action here in Bed-Stuy and beyond. It's a place to meet new people, have a great time, and learn from each other the many ways we can strengthen our communities and unite our common struggles. Come party with us!

About 123 Community Space:
Founded in July 2007 by several NYC grassroots organizations and many individual volunteers, 123 hosts an after school program, a free bike workshop, a children's photography program, a screenprinting studio, an infoshop and lending library, political prisoner letter writing dinners, and special events. We envision 123 as a safe haven for all, and as a fertile ground for local projects and activities to take root and grow.

Picture This! is a free program designed to help young people from the
Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood of Brooklyn develop useful skills as a
means of expression and self-discovery.

Working with experienced volunteers, children involved in the program
learn to use photography and creative writing as tools to examine their
lives, communities, families and environment.

Picture This! is taught by photojournalist Andrew Stern and writer Glass
D. Neary along with other volunteers from the 123 Community Space. It draws
inspiration and lesson plans from The International Center of
Photography's Focus on Photography: A Curriculum Guide which is designed
to inform educators about the many possibilities and interdisciplinary
applications of photographic education in school and after-school
settings (grades K-12). The guide is free may be downloaded at:
www.icp.org/museum/education/curriculum_guide. Picture This! combines
training in visual literacy through discussions and writing with hands
on photographic assignments and activities.

All materials and services are provided free by Picture This! and the
123 Space, and we are currently seeking funding and both monetary and
equipment donations.

General meeting mostly for volunteers, but open to all.

Come to the 123 Printshop and learn to print your own original posters, t-shirts, and more! Volunteers will help you out with the entire process. Bring black and white artwork on plain white paper or a transparency, and a screen if you have one. We have a small collection of screens -- you can purchase one from us for $5-$15, depending on the size and whether or not you want to keep the screen for later use. The fee for exposing your artwork on the screen is $3-$5. We also provide affordable screenprinting services, but really encourage doing it yourself. It's a skill you can use forever.

We plan to add more weekly open hours in the near future, and will be holding free screenprinting classes in the upcoming weeks. All ages and skill levels are welcome!
