This is an initiative to bring youth voices into the open so the community can tap into the brilliance, energy, and forward-thinking creativity youth have to offer. Youth are a major underrepresented, under-recognized marginalized group in our society whose quick, innovative, compassionate ways of thinking are what we need to change the world. This project is about making space for youth to bring their voices out and speak to the community via 1) a written publication and 2) a theatre production. We need funding ($1000-$5000) to get these projects going and produced, and are hoping to compensate the youth for their creative work too.
