East Bay Screening of Finding the Gold Within for the Afterschool Community

Finding the Gold Within - This feature film documentary had its world premiere recently at the Mill Valley California film festival. It features a program from Akron, OH named Alchemy, Inc. This group uses drumming, mythology, and journaling to promote the healthy development of inner city African-American children and youth. Following the film, we will host a Q&A session with the film director and young people who are featured in the film. To view a trailer of the film, click here.

This screening is intended for East Bay youth program providers and youth leaders from those programs. It is especially appropriate for programs that serve older youth. We also encourage program staff to bring youth representatives. Because space is limited, we are requesting that program staff bring no more than 8 youth leaders. If you wish to bring more youth, please contact us at the link below. To ensure that everyone has access, we are not charging for tickets. However, we will be accepting donations to help cover the cost of this event.

This event is sponsored by Temescal Associates, the Learning in Afterschool & Summer (LIAS) Project, and the Expanded Learning 360/365 Project.
