Join YTP's community impact project at Portland Public Library (PPL) where you'll get to create your own zines exploring themes of hope, community, connection, and more. Over the span of 6 sessions, you'll get to experiment with your creative style and hone your artistic voice, all while making a positive difference in your community through art.  

Registration is required. Bonus: you'll also receive a stipend!
