Youth are matched 1:1 with a professional mentor and gathered in small groups to bring their cultures, languages, and gifts of music, poetry, dance, drama, puppetry, science, and history to the story arts screen, and learn and explore the craft of oral storytelling, the joy of connection, and the power of their voices.

Contact Andrea for information about how you can be involved in our ongoing camp community as a camp family, mentor, tech host, donor, or to join the advisory team.

ASST is a not-for-profit organization whose mission is to connect independent artists with resources.

Through ASST, Andrea founded and directs Youth Standing Strong Camp where youth ages 5-18 are paired one-on-one with professional mentors to learn how to craft and perform their own stories and find their voice within community and across all borders.
