Young people are not “the future.” They are powerful in the present, and we’re here to create a culture that values what they have to say.

Since our inception in early 2019, 7,000 people have listened to youth stories through our interactive installations, short film sequences and artist talks. That’s 7,000 opportunities to shift mindsets, offer new perspectives, inspire action, and change perceptions about what youth are capable of.
.

We’re just getting started, and we’re turning to you to help our youth voice movement grow. Join us in our mission by giving $5, $20 or whatever you can before midnight on #ntxgivingday this Thursday. Every dollar counts and is eligible for prizes from @communitiesfoundationoftexas that amplify your gift.

Check out some of the entries from one of the traveling sketchbooks in “The Great Sketchbook Exchange” project! Nia started with this sketchbook and set the theme as “protest.” It is one of many sketchbooks circulating between young people via snail mail so that they can collaboratively reflect on different social and racial justice issues, despite being physically distanced.
