Subject: [Wikimedia-SF] ISO Wikipedians to train staff of SFPL's new
        Teen    Tech Center

Hello Bay Area fellow Wikipedians,

The San Francisco Public Library and the Mozilla's HIVE Learning Networks
are launching a new Teen Tech Center in SF called The Mix.

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
