What is a Youth Voices profile? How might they be used by students in today's uncertainties?
Here's a list of metaphors we Jessica Hernandez-Speer and I started to describe a Youth Voices profile to our students.
- locker (where you can put video, audio, images and text that are important to you)
- homeroom (where you stay connected with your Youth Voices connections)
- home base (where you come back to re-focus)
- home page (all of the work you’ve put on Youth Voices will be organized here)
- headquarters (where you can find the resources to answer all of your questions
- bat cave
- fortress of solitude
- room of your own
- clean, well-lighted place (where you can explore your own thoughts and writing)
- place online like a YouTube channel/Instagram page/Facebook feed (for school, of course

From Stephanie Loomis : The fires are just awful. The whole West Coast. I know Happy Camp. :(
From Stephanie Loomis : All those little Nor Cal towns are tight knit
From Stephanie Loomis : And CA makes it SO hard to rebuild--even if you have the money
