Strengthening Our Connection:
The Power of Community
True Graphic Short Stories of Community Organizations Making a Difference
This series of graphic shorts created by teens from our summer internship highlights organizations in the NYC and LA areas that are bringing healing and regenerative solutions to environmental issues and encouraging a community reconnection to the natural world. By bringing awareness to these organizations, readers can learn about ways they can get involved and help individually and collectively within their communities.

“I really enjoyed getting the opportunity to craft a graphic short story on an environmental issue I’m passionate about! I think the power of art as a tool for activism is often overlooked - but this program is a great way to start changing that. I enjoyed exploring how to use art and my passions for the greater good. I especially loved learning what the editing process is like in a professional environment.”
