GoodforMEdia Maker Day: The Future of Social Media: By Youth, for Youth
This special event invites young people in the Bay Area ages 13 - 22 to come together and share about the way they navigate the online world. During a time where 95% of teens have smartphones, and 35% of us use 1 in 5 top social media apps constantly, our youth advisors have identified the need for youth to have access to supportive spaces where they can figure out healthy ways to use these platforms. Inspired by this new reality, we curated this event to center young people's lived experiences online and in the real world, so that there is a future where we CAN walk away from our phones feeling inspired and motivated, not burned out.
