Queer Youth Action Projects
ART as ACTIVISM!!!
Using media as a vehicle for social change, LYRIC's Queer Youth Action Projects provide access to industry standard software and equipment in an effort to create systemic social change where the energy is - with young people! In 3-month long projects, interns go through trainings and workshops on current social issues, have an opportunity to share their stories through media and technology, and facilitate their own workshops and discussions in the community, thus impacting their own lives and the lives of others around them. Past projects have addressed violence against women, intergenerational issues, and queer history.
