Happy Woo Wednesdays!
I've been volunteering for Bresee for 6 years. I photograph the big Gala every year at the Tagylan. It's always a night I look forward to. I also photograph families and events throughout the year. They raised over 175k this year for the kids, just incredible!
Bresee’s mission is to battle poverty by empowering youth and families in Los Angeles with the skills, resources, and relationships necessary to thrive.
Today I have Jason Barr, Teen Tech Center Coordinator at Bresee, in charge of building and breaking STEAM based programs for high school youth in Koreatown, the best town.
Today's hot topic is Telling stories. He has always been a story-teller since he was young and helps his student tell their story. It's time for you to tell YOUR Story.
1. Everyone has a story to tell, so tell yours.
2. Just go out and create, don't worry about who you don't know, worry about who doesn't know you.
3. Study people, watch and listen.
The main takeaway in the episode is that the Youth need arts programs, they need to learn how to code, and how to hack, it's do or die out in these streets.
All high school students have access to our free programs. There are a handful of teen tech centers open right now in LA and a bunch coming soon. Learn the tech skills of tomorrow, today. That's trademarked by me, not affiliated with any other Tech Center. Hit up your local TTC.
