Update #3: THANK YOU!!
Dear friends,
We want to express our deepest gratitude to you for making our Kickstarter funding page such a success! Thanks to your help, YPP and our youth partners will be able to document some incredible experiences this summer and fall, and we'll be sure to keep you updated on our endeavors. A million thanks to you all!
Love,
YPP
Update #2: We did it! And let's keep going!
Thanks so much to all who have backed us thus far, thanks to you we have reached our goal of $1500. But let's not stop there! The full cost of these projects will be two to three times what we planned to raise through kickstarter initially, so anything over of $1500 goal will be equally appreciated!
Hugs and smooches,
Jeremy
Update #1: Some New Project Details...
Hi everyone,
A quick update from YPP: Our collaboration plans for this summer & fall are becoming more exciting every day!
This summer, in collaboration with The Village of Arts and Humanities and NY2NO (New York to New Orleans), we will work with a youth-led group of North Philadelphia high school students who are traveling to New Orleans to learn about community revitalization and urban gardening.
In the fall we will document an international exchange between youth from Chicago and Paris housing projects as they explore each others' cities.
In both cases we will be giving youth tools to record and reflect on their experiences through music composition and audio journalism. Thanks for your support and interest!
all the best,
YPP
