Our new zine weaves together personal stories, artwork, and data visualizations to illuminate how grief and loss shape the lives - and futures - of Philadelphia’s 18- to 26-year-olds. The publication pairs first-person reflections with insights from our ongoing Narrative Inquiry Project, spotlighting both the weight of “grief paralysis” and the possibilities for healing, advocacy, and economic mobility.
Flip through its pages to meet the storytellers, learn what helps them move from paralysis toward well-being, and discover concrete calls to action for families, educators, employers, and policymakers.
MEDIA FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM
We're uplifting the next generation's voices to play a key role in research and storytelling. We do this by engaging young adults aged 18-26 and providing them:
Training in creative media, research and inquiry, and public health
The opportunity to participate in projects at the Lab
Opportunities to earn additional income through values-aligned fee-for-service opportunities
Moment of Sharing
The Wealth + Work Futures Lab’s Media Fellowship Program hosted 60+ individuals to share their exploration with grief, loss, and well-being. By building media that explores invisible grief, engaging with peers around loss and well-being, our young people are making clear that they are ready to make the unseen seen to build a Philadelphia where young people can feel safe, valued, and heard.
