The TK1 Youth Council. Come and Change our World, with TK1’s ED, Sandy Campbell. This after-school program is for juniors and seniors (with exceptions made for exceptional sophomores) who wish to participate in core discussions about Taos, high school life, local policy-making, amplifying youth voice, and more. Council members lead production of their own video entries for our Future Dialogues, with the next being The Future of our Forests (December 14, 2023 at the TCA). Select students will work on unique video assignments, interviewing elected officials, covering local events as part of our Broadcast Internship with The Taos News, and so much more… Every Monday 3-4:30pm with other days as drop in. We have one or two seats still available for this school year. Started August 21, 2023.

This drop-in space allows students aged 12 and up to learn key video, animation, and illustration techniques, taking their own projects forward under expert tutelage, and of course with routine access to our professional Production Studio. Interested participants will have the opportunity to join TK1 Productions, and make fee-for-service videos for clients across Taos County. Every Tuesday 3-5pm. Starts Tuesday, September 5 2023.
Queerious, with TK1’s Productions Program Officer, Dani Cervantes. This is an open, safe space where teens can be exactly who they are, be called what they want to be called, and thrive through music, podcasts, video, talk shows, poetry and dance, and much more… In this program, students will share and discover, and through storytelling address gender roles, sex assigned at birth, gay/straight interactions in social gatherings, stigma, appearance, and so much more. We want to create above all a healthy space where students can be themselves and have a strong supportive group of friends, with a key goal being the development of healthy relationships — with themselves, and with in a society that often marginalizes them. Now twice a week: Mondays 4:30-6:00pm and Thursdays 3-5pm. Ages 12 and up.Thursday, September 7 2023.
