The Hive Learning Network is a global community effort of Youth Servicing Organizations led by the Mozilla Foundation. The HLN champions digital skills and web literacy through connected learning. They have a presence in 11 cities including Bangalore, Vancouver and Mombasa, and growing fast with 10 new cities to launch by end of 2015. This is a pilot program to help us/WMF evaluate if this is a viable mechanism for the movement to engage with youth and help build future community of Wikipedians. The SFPL agreed to host a Wikipedia Station to help youth navigate and use our projects as well as potentially contribute to them. This program will be ran by the staff of The Mix - I am looking for someone(s) to train their staff on becoming a Wikipedian and a guide to the youth in their program. If you are interested, please feel free to ping me via email, I can share more details. The Mix launches next Wednesday June 18th - ideally we would like to have a Young Wikipedian's in Training booth for back to school - sept 2015. Thank you! ​Sylvia​ -- Sylvia Ventura Strategic Partnerships Wikimedia Foundation sventura(a)wikimedia.org <mailto:sventura@wikimedia.org>
