Attention Benzie County Central School 11th and 12th grade students (and parents/guardians),
  • Are you interested in making connections in your community?
  • Would you like to learn new skills with audio and video production?Do you feel that preserving personal experiences and local history is important?
  • Would you like to get paid to help make all of these things happen?
The Benzonia Public Library has an exciting opportunity to extend to a group of BC students. BPL received a grant to establish Remembering Benzie: an Oral History Project. This program will supply the technology and the training needed to collect and preserve the personal stories and recollections of our local community through stunning video histories.  We need the help of 4 student interns. These students will be trained by professionals to conduct interviews that they will record, edit and upload to various platforms and databases. The students will sharpen their tech skills, but more importantly their communication skills and their abilities to connect with others.
 
If you, or someone you know, are interested in this opportunity and would like to learn more, please contact Amanda McLaren at benzonialibrary@gmail.com.
