The Youth 2.0 Recovery Reporting Project received $95,000 in grants from the ($60K) and the Chicago Community Trust, Rappaport Family Foundation ($35K) in December 2009.
This innovative city-wide program engages a team of several hundred youth serving as researchers, journalists, and media artists to collectively gather findings, develop stories, and produce new media art that will shed light on the well-being of Chicago’s young people during 2010.
The project will provide compelling evidence of art’s powerful role in not only building civic awareness among young people, but also connecting youth to their own political agency through the process of creative art-making, particularly within the context of open source production and information sharing.
Eleven youth media organizations in the city make up the Chicago Youth Voices Network. They include:
Community TV Network
Free Spirit Media
North Lawndale Community News
Street Level Youth Media
True Star Magazine
We the People Media
Young Chicago Authors
