Community Voices is a digital storytelling initiative facilitated by Philadelphia Young Playwrights. Students shaped their experiences and insights from 2020-2021 into stories and monologues. Utilizing drawings, animation, video, and photography, they applied digital elements to craft and tell their stories.
