Join us in visual storytelling through the Pecha Kucha Night theme: Youth.
Author: The kNOw Youth Media
The kNOw works to support and equip young people with the journalism and advocacy skills they need to tell their stories and the stories of their communities.
In 2006, over 25 youth began participating in weekly after-school writing workshops where they congregated in the hallway of a two-story building in West Fresno and learned the essentials of creating media and telling their stories. The group evolved over the next five years and is now proudly recognized as The kNOw Youth Media.
Through our program, we create opportunities for our youth participants, who in turn create long-term positive change in their communities. Our approach weaves youth development and youth media innovation to produce our biannual youth publication, multimedia projects, and community forums.
The kNOw began as a project of New America Media, which was the country’s first and largest national collaboration and advocate of 2000 ethnic news organizations. In 2018 The kNOw became a project of Youth Leadership Institute.
Noche Oaxaqueña was a fun-filled night of music, hip, hop, spoken word and open mic on Sept 6, 2012. The family event in downtown Fresno celebrated cultural heritage.
The kNOw Youth Media stumbled upon several pieces of media that question whether investing in college education is justified. We’ve linked stories from our youth, Newsweek and College@Home. Do you value college education in spite of the current economic crisis?
Moving out: Dream or Nightmare?
Most of the time I can’t wait to move out of my parent’s house and be on my own. I want to move out because I want to be independent, to have my own life, so I’m not living with my parents forever.
On Sept. 5, The Pat Brown Institute held a forum in at the Fresno convention center. The topic: School Discipline and the Future.
