New Bioneers Youth Program Launch!

 



NEW BIONEERS YOUTH PROGRAM LAUNCH!

Bioneer, 

Bioneers is piloting a new program for youth called Telling Our Stories: Re-Envisioning Our Future, in partnership with Mycelium Youth Network. Over the course of four months, youth from Denver, CO; Louisville, KY; Fort Defiance, AZ; and the Bay Area will meet with skilled mentors to design and share their stories with the world. Every month, youth will dive into a different medium, learning how to cultivate their voice in written, audio, video and social media storytelling. Youth will be given a stipend for each story they create to demonstrate that their voice and efforts are significant contributions to our movements for environmental and social justice.
 

LEARN MORE

Bioneers has become a significant media platform over the last 30 years, with hundreds of thousands of people tuning in and lifting up our network of changemakers and solutionaries. As part of our commitment to sharing transformative solutions and visions for building a better future, we believe wholeheartedly in cultivating the voices of our future leaders. They, in turn, have so much to teach us, both in their astute awareness of this world and in their creative new approaches of storytelling in the digital age. Join us in bringing this program to life!

Beyond learning concrete media and storytelling skills, Telling Our Stories is also about providing youth with a supportive community where they can share what they’re experiencing in these unstable and uncertain times. Young people need more spaces where they feel supported, connected, and valued, perhaps now more than ever. It is so crucial to reaffirm for frontline youth that they belong, and that there is a learning community for them that is based on care for each other and for this earth. Their voices and their efforts are what shape the new world that we are all striving towards. We really believe that this program can make a significant impact in the lives of the frontline youth that we work with.

We invite you, as part of this Bioneers community, to please contribute to our Telling Our Stories campaign! This is an opportunity to directly support the work of frontline youth leaders across this country.
