A podcast following my time during Field Work Term 2017 serving as Media Assistant for Threshold Collaborative, a storytelling and narrative collecting organization.

Voices in Diversity Ep. 2

Threshold Collaborative believes that everyone should be included in creating positive community change. Threshold uses powerful participatory approaches: oral history, action research and community engagement to build inclusion, democratize knowledge and find sustainable solutions to the challenges we face.

a picture is worth... combines the skills of literacy, critical thinking, communication, photography, technology and essay writing with crucial values of integrity, self-awareness, empathy and leadership to provide a standards-based high school curriculum. 
 
a picture is worth... was born from a need to address Reading’s “unwelcome distinction” in 2011 from The New York Times as America’s city with the highest poverty rate, extraordinarily low college-degree attainments and elevated high school dropout numbers.
 
This creative and dynamic program—a collaboration between Threshold Collaborative, photographer Janice Levy and I-LEAD Charter School in Reading, PA—provides youth with the opportunity to find their voice by crafting indelible stories about their lives and sharing them through audio, photographs and written essays.
