More Than Just Awards
Here’s the real deal – the New York Game Awards isn’t just about handing out trophies. It’s presented by the New York Videogame Critics Circle (NYVGCC), a nonprofit that’s all about giving back. They’re changing the game with their “Playing With Purpose” program, teaching writing to the underserved and unhoused through our shared love for video games.
Empowering the Next Gen
NYVGCC isn’t playing around. They’re bringing journalism and narrative writing workshops to schools, shelters, and community organizations across NYC. Talk about leveling up! Industry pros are sharing their wisdom, plus there’s mentorship, scholarships, and paid internships on the table.
Big Names, Big Impact
Xbox, Sony, Nintendo, Marvel Games – yeah, they’re all in on this. NYVGCC has teamed up with these giants to bring this unique program to students who really need it. It’s more than games; it’s about creating opportunities and building dreams.
