What would make your neighborhood a better place to live, work, and thrive?
Join El Museo del Barrio for an Idea Generation Workshop as part of The People’s Money, New York City’s citywide participatory budgeting initiative led by the NYC Civic Engagement Commission.
This interactive session invites New Yorkers to come together, discuss the needs of their communities, and propose ideas for how a portion of the city’s budget should be spent. Whether you’re passionate about arts and culture, education, public health, youth programs, or neighborhood services, we want to hear from you!
During the workshop, participants will learn about participatory budgeting, exchange ideas with neighbors, and help identify projects and programs that could make a meaningful difference in their communities.
No experience necessary—just bring your ideas and your vision for a better NYC.
The People’s Money is open to all New Yorkers ages 11 and up, regardless of immigration status. Ideas submitted during this phase will be considered for development into proposals that residents can vote on in spring 2027.
Free and open to the public. This session will be facilitated in Spanish and English.
