​Teen Story Telling Project

Youth ages 12+ - are you looking for something fun and creative to do this summer? Join our Teen Story Telling Project, led by three Cornell University students who are interning with 4-H in Ulster, Dutchess and Columbia and Greene Counties. Seth, Madison and Wendy are looking forward to interacting with ten youth from each of our counties this summer. Everyone has a story to tell and I KNOW that teens in our community have a lot to share about their involvement in their family, their community, their school.

You will meet with the interns via ZOOM twice a week, beginning in late June. Hear from them below:

During these sessions you will learn about what makes a good story and then they will guide you as you craft your own. You can choose your platform for your story – written, like an essay or poetry; video; spoken; narrated slide show – there are so many options. The program will end with an opportunity for everyone to share their story through a community showcase. Along the way fun incentives like t-shirts, gift cards, stickers and more are in store!!

Let us know of your interest soon so you can receive the link to join in the June 15^th information session. The info session is not required but we do need you signed up by the first session, on June 22. Connect with Linda Tripp at 518-605-0786 or Lke2@cornell.edu for more information and to sign up.
