PARTNERSHIP FOR APPALACHIAN GIRLS EDUCATION
From 2019-2023, I taught a three-week photography and storytelling workshop in the Appalachians in Madison County, North Carolina. The workshop is part of the Partnership for Appalachian Girls Education summer arts programming and enrichment. It’s one of my favorite teaching experiences because of the depth of collaboration with the girls and the ways we connect their own experiences of home, family and place with our curriculum designed around self expression and documentary arts.
PAGE seeks to inspire and empower underserved rural girls through education. Now in its 8th year, PAGE offers innovative learning opportunities for girls in grades 6-9, a mentoring program for 9th grade girls, and high school internships for rural girls, offering high-quality, out-of-school learning opportunities across the school year and over the summer.
