YouTube's Cool, New Nonprofit Partnership
YouTube announced today that it will partner with StoryCorps—a nonprofit that records and archives oral stories from diverse voices in order to pass wisdom through generations—on a new program by which digital creators will be invited to produce video-based StoryCorps interviews at YouTube’s Spaces in Los Angeles and New York.
The program is part of YouTube’s Creators For Change initiative, which appoints a group of influencer ambassadors across the globe who will advocate for various causes aided by funding and other resources from YouTube.
Beginning Dec. 5, for 12 days, YouTube will make available custom sets at its spaces in Los Angeles and New York that look and feel like StoryCorps’ recording booths. A select group of creators who are using YouTube to address social issues will be invited to bring someone to the spaces for a video-based interview about identity and belonging in modern-day America.
