Project Overview

This project will fund a Youth Executive Board (YEB) to create an anthology of youth stories and experiences that describe their identities, stories, and experiences. This anthology will include a variety of interdisciplinary art such as personal essays, poems, visual art, etc., and be a reflective and engaging multimedia project that highlights, preserves, and celebrates the cultural heritage and identities of YEB members and empowers communities to build and preserve their identities. This anthology will include stories from program alumni, family members, and individuals involved in schools. Youth will be able to share their own identities and culture while receiving professional development opportunities from community storytellers and editors to increase their skills and knowledge in storytelling.
