STAY Summer Institute

The ‘Stay Together Appalachian Youth’ Project is a diverse regional network of young people throughout Central Appalachia who are working together to advocate for and actively participate in their home mountain communities of West Virginia, southwest Virginia, eastern Kentucky, eastern Tennessee, and western North Carolina. STAY is currently a consortium supported by Appalshop’s Appalachian Media Institute in Whitesburg, KY, High Rocks in Hillsboro, WV, and the Highlander Research and Education Center in New Market, TN.

Join young folks from communities throughout Central Appalachia for the 3rd Annual STAY Summer Institute, filled with workshops, identity caucuses and skill shares celebrating the culture and history of community organizing in Appalachia.
