Hey there.
We here at the Moth have an exciting opportunity for high school sophomores, juniors, and seniors who love to tell stories.
Join the Moth story lab this fall.
Whether for an aspiring writer, a budding filmmaker, or simply someone who loves to spin a good yarn, this workshop is a chance to refine the craft of storytelling.
From brainstorming to that final mic drop moment.
Weve got students covered.
Plus, theyll make new friends, build skills that shine in school and beyond, and have a blast along the way.
These workshops are free and held in person in New York City or virtually anywhere in the US.
Space is limited.
We've extended to one more week, so be sure to apply by September 29.
Welcome to the Moff podcast.
I'm Ana Stern, your host for this episode.
As the senior manager of the MoF's education program, one of the best parts of my job is hearing the stories of the young people we work with.
Some kids come in with a million stories to tell, and others find their story throughout the course of our workshop.
But however they come to the moth, they can all end up in front of a mic, hearing the applause that thunders from the crowd once they've finished telling their tale.
The Moths education program creates spaces where young people can listen, celebrate each other's voices, and tell their own stories.
Through crafting and sharing true personal narratives, participants gain a deeper understanding of themselves, their peers, their community, and the world around them.
In this episode, we'll be featuring two stories that come from the moth story lab.
If you're a high school or college student from anywhere in the country looking to tell your own story or know a kid who might be into that opportunity, stay tuned.
We'll have more information on how to get involved later in the episode.
