The Youth Project is a research project and archive intended to better understand and engage with people between ages 13-19, also known as Generation Z. The goal is to amplify voices and ideas of the next generation and to collaborate for systemic change. Rebecca has worked with teens around the world, from many backgrounds and identities and is both culturally attuned and an intersectional ally. Meaning, she honors the full identities of the people she works with, and aims to both recognize and work to remedy interlocking systems of oppression.

All sessions would take place outside or in a COVID safe space, and youth would be given all photos as scans sent by email. There will be a brief interview along with a portrait session.

Email Rebeccafrancesburns@gmail.com if you are interested in participating.
