Sierra Health Foundation - The Kern Equity Youth (KEY) Project:The Sierra Health Foundation provided a three-year grant under Elevate Youth California (marijuana tax) funding. Grant activities are focused on researching the underlying social, health, and economic factors that contribute toward youth substance use. TYM4Change will be filming a documentary examining, from the perspectives of those living in three targeted zip codes (93301, 93304, 93307) the local policy changes needed to support increasing youth access to education, health, and jobs. KEY Documentary. We are in the process of developing the KEY Documentary deliverable. The storyline follows the journey of our youth becoming agents of change in their community, with a geographical focus being Dr. Martin Luther King Jr Park and how our youth are able to help support additional policy changes before and during the park renovations, in addition to conducting interviews of our youth, members of the community, park officials, and more. Were very excited to see how the development with the policy around the sharps containers turns out. Were aiming to make that one of the climaxes of the documentary.
