We’Ced Youth Media equips young people with media and storytelling skills to uplift their stories and the stories of their communities. We aim to amplify youth voice through media partnerships and encourage civic engagement through community health reporting.
We’Ced launched in 2011 and produces annual print publications, such as zines, calendars, and newspapers. We produce storytelling content ranging from photography, film, drawing, and writing, and are always experimenting with new forms of media. We publish our content and are active on Facebook and Instagram.
