young sustainable storytellers who challenge the status quo

“When you give kids who’ve been stereotyped as not being able to do anything the chance to do something great, they’ll step up.”

- West Philly High School Electric Vehicle Team Coach

 

Green Guerrillas Youth Media Tech Collective is an innovative, grassroots job-training program which values teen’s creative insights and capacities to transform their reality as leaders and participants for change.

Green Guerrillas make their own media by analyzing important social, political, economic and environmental issues which affect their lives.  Green Guerrillas connect the dots between 500-year-old issues of prejudice, inequality, oppression, and discrimination with the increased use of policing, exploitation, resource extraction, and incarceration nationwide and abroad.

 

 

Green Guerrillas recognize the role mainstream media plays in supporting stereotypes which promote sweat shops over sustainable style, genetically modified crops over locally grown organic foods, and pollution and prisons over sustainability and social change.

 

 

By dismantling low expectations and offering Green Guerrillas “the chance to do something great,” S.T.A.M.P. empowers young people of color who are stereotypically and disproportionately affected by criminal justice and environmental policies which disregard individual needs, erode community assets, and undermine planet security.
