To center community and lead with anti-racist action, we need to reimagine who “experts” are, resource young people of color to own their stories, and follow their visions of transformation. In this session, learn about the Road Map Youth Storytellers Project, which has collaborated with young leaders to create communications projects that advocate for change. Participants will engage with frameworks of narrative strategy, project-based learning, and community connection. Through five specific youth-led projects, particularly with storytelling about two of them on food justice in schools and disability support policies, participants will learn how systems change needs to be driven by community stories. This session is aimed at anyone who believes in the power of youth voices--educators, administrators, direct service staff, community organizers, funders, policymakers, and students.
