Narrative Crossings

Narrative Crossings is a creative advocacy project that connects local high school and college students. The program invites youth participants to explore questions of cultural identity, one’s place in the community, the experience of crossing boundaries, and conceptions of voice, belonging, and home.

Participants collaborate with writers, poets, and photographers as they explore different mediums for sharing their stories with the broader community.
