Our Purpose

This collaborative project is a local response to the unprecedented and overwhelming societal effects of the Coronavirus on nearly every aspect of our lives. Our youth-adult team will create a virtual video project that is filmed remotely within our new reality of social distancing. The video will be an edited compilation of interviews conducted remotely with phones and computers, focusing on the impacts of the Coronavirus here in Western Massachusetts. The goal is to hear firsthand from young people, adults, and families about how this pandemic is shaping and impacting people’s lives. We believe these stories will help the public and local leaders better understand the impact this virus is having on people at different ages and stations in life, and to better understand the changing and emerging needs of the community in this uncharted new reality.
