FEE FOR SERVICE:

We believe strongly in preparing our youth for their futures through real-life work opportunities and professional development. Our youth work together with Gandhi Brigade’s talented team to offer the following fee for service opportunities:

Event Documentation & Video Production:

• Our team of talented youth producers and staff produces quality video production and event documentation for local businesses, organizations, and community institutions. Our business model focuses on three goals:

  -Develop youth business skills
  -Develop youth professional media skills
  -Create community value

  If you would like assistance with video production or event documentation, please download and fill out the Pitch Form and send it to Amy Tasillo at least one month prior to your production or event. Our youth producers will review pitch forms and contact you shortly.

 

Workshops:

• Our team can travel to your space, or host you at Gandhi Brigade. Our three current workshops described below can be adjusted to youth, adult, or inter-generational audiences. If you would like to book our team to facilitate a workshop, fill out our Request Form and send it to Valerie Graham.
• Youth-Adult Partnerships:
  The field of youth work and youth organizing has begun shifting, at least theoretically, to “participatory” methodologies of learning and leading. Yet in practice, many organizations do not or are unable to implement these ideas. Using participatory methods, youth and adult facilitators will model what youth leadership looks like in a programming setting. Activities will also provide space for participants to unpack and examine adultism, to build tools and awareness of levels of youth participation, and to dialogue about real-life hurdles and solutions for putting these ideas to work.
• From Street to Screen:
  Using Social Media to Make Change: Most people either use social media or know someone who uses social media right? But how many people know how to leverage tools such as Facebook to organize groups toward a common purpose and goal? This interactive workshop takes the popular social media platforms and gives some real-life examples in current events to demonstrate how young people click their way to leadership and activism.
• Genosociograms:
  The genosociogram is much like a family tree but with a deeper exploration of sociohistorical events attached to ‘biological’ history. It helps us to not see our histories as incidental or accidental processes but as a part of a larger human and social process.
