The Stories of our Elders

In the Fall of 2022, students from True Kids 1 embarked on a new project: to document The Stories of our Elders. We've now completed two such stories, with several more planned. The idea is simple and powered by culture. For our Hispanic elders, we've brought a film crew of Hispanic students, so that the elder can connect with and speak to the children of her culture in this dynamic act of knowledge transfer. We'll soon bring a crew of Pueblo students to record the stories of Pueblo elders... stay tuned!

Social Media Interns meet twice a week for formal instruction and classwork, and then undertake specific projects throughout the week. These are paid internships at $17/hour, with the expectation of producing multiple shorts/reels and posts per week. This program not only equips students with technical skills in digital-content creation but also fosters critical thinking, creativity, and professional readiness.

Through hands-on projects, students learn to plan and execute full marketing campaigns that reflect real-world scenarios — from conceptualizing visual storytelling to analyzing engagement data to refine their strategies. In addition to mastering industry-standard tools such as Adobe Premiere, Cap Cut, and Canva, participants gain experience in branding, analytics, and audience engagement—skills that translate directly into career and entrepreneurial opportunities. By working with local organizations, students also contribute meaningful content that amplifies community voices, building a bridge between youth creativity and local impact. The program ultimately empowers participants to become confident digital communicators who can navigate and shape the evolving media landscape.

Once students gain competencies in social media through this class, they are eligible to earn hourly stipends via our TK1 Productions fee-for-service unit.
