 Youth Intern Program 2008 Reel Wins Hometown Video Award
Congratulations Kiara,
Zach, Cameron, Stacy,
Tre, Hasani, Jasmine,
Tabitha, Jairo, Dawn,
Kevin & Erika!
Media
made by the 2008 YIP interns recently won a Hometown Video Award in the
Youth Empowerment category. The Hometown Video Awards honor and promote community media. These awards are
presented to creative programs that address community needs, develop diverse community involvement, challenge conventional commercial television
formats, and move viewers to
experience television in a different way. The SPNN Youth Intern Program is an intensive
paid summer program where St. Paul
teens work together to create meaningful media about community issues.
The
award winning program includes three public service announcements
addressing the issues of racial profiling,
standardized testing, and college access. It also includes three
documentaries exploring St. Paul
gangs, youth empowerment, and cultural expectations of young women of
color. In honor of this
award the YIP 2008 Reel will be aired on YTV Mondays at 7:30 the month of July.
Don’t miss it!
  
Connections Teen Studio Class
Our
first summer class at SPNN Youth has said “quiet on the set”
for the last time. Teen Studio Production met for eight days in early
June with lead teacher, Dawn; Teaching Assistant, Megan; and Peer Mentor,
Camila. The students in the class produced two final productions
– a comedic television variety show,
and a music video about table manners using copyright free music, garage band,
and original vocals. The class worked hard and had lots of fun.
We hope to see them back at SPNN for more Connections classes later this
summer!

The East Side Learning
Collaborative: Working together for a strong community where youth learn, grow,
and lead.
The Presidential
Election is over, how do I stay Involved?
“Young
people are among the more vulnerable members of our society, and they are
also among the least heard. Youth media in an election year gives young
people the opportunity to weigh in on the very real issues and policies
that affect them—providing that editors and the audience listen.
(Kelly Nuxol)”
This next
section is dedicated to highlighting resources created by civically engaged
youth and youth allies from around the country. Whether you could vote or
not, you have a voice. Inform yourself,
voice your opinions, get involved, tell your story!
MN Youth
Council ~ APPLY NOW
An exciting
opportunity for youth in Minnesota has arisen. A brand new MN Youth Council is currently being created, which
will have a direct voice in the Minnesota political process.
The Council, made up of youth across
Minnesota, will advise the House of Representatives, the Senate,
and the Governor on issues relating to MN and USA youth. There will
be 20 delegates in total on
the Council. Below you will find apecific details about the role of a
delegate. If you or any youth you know are interested in this
opportunity, please contact Joseph Gibson at 612-741-6083, or joewg...@yahoo.com.
The
responsibilities of a delegate are as follows:
1. Attend
meetings either in person or by tele-conference
2. Represent
MN youth in all meetings, and vote accordingly
3. Travel MN
and the mid-west giving speeches and meeting with other youth
4. Represent
the decisions of the general assembly (all 20 delegates) to their
committees
The
requirements of a potential youth delegate:
1. Be age
15-24
2. Be
interested in politics and current events
3. Be able to
meet once every two weeks in St. Paul at the Capital (we are getting a
youth council office set up)
4. Be willing
to work with other delegates to achieve the council’s goals
“Although
we are just getting started, no council like this has ever existed in MN.
I want to stress that all youth interested realize that these will be
the most powerful 20 youth in MN politics, and they should be dedicated and
professional. Other than that, it will be a fun and amazing opportunity
to not only get involved at the legislature, but to have a powerful voice
on bills that involve youth.”
Do you know
of more nonpartisan (event or organization which does not advocate on
behalf of a political party or candidate) action items or youth empowerment
resources around the Twin Cities? If so, please send them to ebac...@spnn.org.
Thanks!
Pay it Forward Foundation Grant
The Pay it Forward Foundation offers students the
opportunity to identify what they consider to be the challenges of their
communities. They tackle such problems as homelessness, pollution, youth
violence, literacy issues, the loneliness experienced by long-term hospital
and nursing home patients, and the alienation of today's at-risk youth from
the community. The Pay It Forward Foundation provides seed money for such
worthwhile projects.
Your school, church or community youth group may
apply for this $500 mini-grant to fund a one time
project with a Pay It Forward focus.
Applications will be accepted anytime by email to gra...@payitforwardfoundation.com.
For more information please
