As the facilitator of BRYTE Summer Leadership Institute in 2015, I:

• Planned and implemented leadership development curriculum for 20 refugee youth ages 13 to 22 that cultivated English language competencies while focusing on environmental justice, education justice, and leadership development.
• Facilitated a longitudinal photography project, guiding students in building their own Konstructor™ film camera and photo documenting the camp community.
• Supervised, managed, and provided professional development for 15 Junior Counselors, primarily drawn from the refugee community, who provided support to the younger campers.
• Provide disciplinary interventions for campers who were disrupting instruction in order to preserve and enhance the learning environment.

 

The photos in the video below were not all taken by me. They are simply a testament to the community I helped nurture.
