The Tuolumne River flows all the way to France! This just in: Midpen producer Leah Rogers' film Tuolumne to All of You was highlighted in a newsletter published in France last month. The topic was about seizing one's dreams in midlife. The article that Katie Rentzke wrote for our blog was also highlighted. Acting locally can have global repercussions. We learn by doing and we change by being true to ourselves. Way to represent, Leah! Tuolumne River Trust #FulfillingYourDreams #TuolumneRiver

The John & Marcia Goldman Foundation has awarded a $40,000 grant to the Midpen Media Center to support our Youth Sports Broadcasting and Career Horizons Project. The project was a summer program for the past two years and enabled us to train youths to operate a professional mobile studio and production truck to televise youth sports events. The new grant will turn our project into a year-long activity that will include many special events where the youths will talk to and shadow professionals in the field. There will also be two visits from celebrity athletes. The Media Center does this in partnership with the Lewis and Joan Platt East Palo Alto Family YMCA. The Ron and Marcia Goldman Youth Development program seeks to improve young people’s life trajectories. The goal of the foundation's initiative is to help engage a harder-to-reach segment of the youth population and address critical service gaps. #MCSports #youthsports #leadership #sportsnews

An amazing holiday gift to the community! California Humanities has awarded your favorite cable access TV station a grant to conduct two storyteller salons (similar to The Moth story programs). Our events will feature the stories of DREAMers - young people whose parents brought them over the border to begin a new life in the US. Their story-performances will cover a range of personal experiences. The events will take place at the Palo Alto City Library and the Redwood City Public Library.
