Project Title: Soapbox Seattle Community-Based Youth Education
\nProject Description:<\/p>\n
Youth mental health is being severely impacted by the climate crisis to the point where 80% of youth feel anxious and HALF of youth report that they\u2019re no longer able to function as normal on a daily basis. <\/p>\n
Simultaneously, we\u2019re seeing the loneliness epidemic worsen in the USA, and young people are not being given the community structures to connect with their values, themselves, and the solutions that need their creativity. <\/p>\n
Cities NEED joyful community spaces where young adults can transform their climate anxiety, loneliness, and powerlessness, into meaningful action: that\u2019s what Soapbox Seattle is building. <\/p>\n
Young adults\u2014our future leaders\u2014need spaces where they can connect, learn from, and take action led by today\u2019s experts. <\/p>\n
Soapbox Seattle is requesting $10,000 from the Hermanowski Family Foundation to invest in our youth programs: at no cost to them, high school & college age students will:<\/p>\n
1\ufe0f\u20e3\u00a0Participate in conversations with an intergenerational group of Seattleites dedicated to making our city joyful, resilient, and safe for future generations. There are currently ZERO spaces in Seattle where power is circulated towards young adults. Youth programs aren\u2019t enough: we need to actively pass on networks, introductions, and resources to young adults by bringing them into \u201cprofessional\u201d spaces where powerful people hang out!!<\/p>\n
2\ufe0f\u20e3\u00a0Learn about a variety of climate solutions through facilitated, bite-sized education. Today\u2019s youth report extreme anxiety from their high school\/college environmental science classes. Soapbox\u2019s speciality is to teach climate solutions in a way that doesn\u2019t overwhelm you, because we immediately show you how YOU can be part of the solution!<\/p>\n
3\ufe0f\u20e3\u00a0Take action that improves our local community. Action is the antidote to anxiety, and Soapbox\u2019s climate action centers art, music, food, and joy! <\/p>\n
Young adults who hang out at Soapbox Seattle will also be given the opportunity to build skills in art, music, plant-based cooking, facilitation, event organization, conflict management, and more!<\/p>\n
