How can community-based digital learning empower youth to shape their world? I’m excited to share Reclaiming Digital Futures, a toolkit w/over 30 resources supporting youth-serving organizations to advance their work in youth-centered digital learning. https://t.co/Hkr8i68NmL
How can youth already involved in your digital learning programs ‘level up’ through brokering new opportunities for learning and leadership? Check out our resource on creating ‘internal pathways’ within out-of-school creative media and tech programs.

How can we support youth--particularly young women's--pathways in tech and digital media? Brokering - or figuring out how to connect youth to new opportunities - is key. See @hiveresearchlab’s new toolkit focused on Brokering Youth Pathways: https://t.co/GWIQ1OllzV.
Do you hold end-of-year capstone events for your creative media/tech youth programs? Capstones can also be ‘stepping stones’ towards future learning opps. See tips drawn from @EmotiCon_NYC and other great @HiveLearningNYC orgs like @TheKnowledgeHou here.

This @HiveResearchLab project inspired Beam to re-think brokering for youth throughout our programs. We invited youth to help select our Beam Camp project and we are co-designing the NYC Big Project with teens to name a few. TY @Spencer_Fdn@Empathetics@kpeppler@tophe
Most importantly, we did all this collaboratively in a research-practice partnership btwn our research team & great educators from @HiveLearningNYC . Big thanks to @Spencer_Fdn for supporting the work, and recognizing that tackling equity challenges in education is a team sport.
We’re excited to launch our new resource, Brokering Youth Pathways: A Toolkit for Connecting Youth to Future Opportunity, featuring practice briefs & new research at the intersection of youth development, equity and opportunity.

It also features new research on mechanisms at play in brokering learning opportunities to youth, with a report on 'Interest-Signalling', or ways that youth directly or indirectly garner social support for their interests, w implications for practice.
