Situation Project participated in the Ignite Social Impact Summit 2024, for its inaugural year, hosting a group of undergrad and graduate college students seeking professional opportunities in social impact.

Established in 2016 by Situation Project Founder, Damian Bazadona, the University at Albany Impact Award goes to nine undergraduate UAlbany students annually in an effort to jumpstart research in advocacy, cause, and community development.

Situation Project staff joined our partners at Think Big for Kids for a spring Career Showcase at the Boys & Girls Club of Mercer County in Trenton, NJ.  Think Big for Kids is a national nonprofit dedicated to breaking the cycle of poverty by helping middle and high school students discover their potential and prepare for a fulfilling career in today’s workforce.

In October 2021, Situation Project was excited to partner with Casita Maria: Center for Arts & Education again to provide a virtual artistic experience for over 800 New York City public middle school students. Situation Project’s three partner schools were introduced to the art of storytelling through musical poetry by Baba Israel and comic book imagery by graphic novelist, Edgardo Miranda-Rodriguez.

In partnership with the Casita Maria: Center for Arts & Education, Situation Project invited our 3 partner schools to embark on a guided virtual journey exploring the Casita Maria graffiti exhibition, Graffitera.

Situation Project volunteers attended BroadwayCon to shine a spotlight on the 2 million seats that go empty on Broadway every year and the organizations on a mission to fill those seats with new audiences.

Situation Project students collaborated with Sing For Hope, a nonprofit organization on a mission to increase access to the arts for everyone in New York City. Members of both the Sing For Hope and Situation teams traveled to the Bronx to share their love of music with incoming 6th graders at M.S. 223.

We visited M.S. 343’s 6th graders to share the School of Rock, The Musical 360º video on Google Cardboard, connecting Situation Project students with the power of music through technology.

For the past several years, Damian Bazadona has presented a talk about Situation Project’s efforts and progress to a crowd of experts from a wide range of fields at TEDxBroadway.

Situation Project students spent the day at the Situation Interactive midtown offices to learn about the intersection between art and technology through a hands-on workshop on Scratch.
