As part of Volunteer Terrace's new Restorative Justice Program a Youth & Elders film program is being offered to the community!
Youth participants will foster their creativity, self-expression, and leadership skills by learning filmmaking skills and forming intergenerational relationships to make short documentaries about the lives and experiences of local elders.
The films will be premiered as part of a community screening and featured on TELUS' Optik TV streaming service and online.
In this FREE program participants will:
• Create a short documentary with a team of other youth
• Learn how to plan, shoot, and edit a short film that helps tell
the stories of an elder in the community
• Get support from Reel Youth facilitators throughout the whole process to
make a powerful film
• Have a ridiculous amount of fun!
• Get a gift card and yummy snacks and meals each day

March 4 - 8 (Mon - Fri) & March 11 - 12 (Mon - Tues)

In our work we strive to embody what we hope to see in the world—a just humanity and community in which people are free to be themselves fully and without fear. A community where no one is exiled or silenced because of gender, gender expression, race, color, ethnic or national origin, religion, sexual/affectional orientation, age, class, physical character or disability. We believe in the power of storytelling to make connections across difference.
