What We Do
— Youth Programs —
PHOTOGRAPHY
Are there stories you are yearning to share with the world? Join us! Walk away with basic photography skills, reconnect with your creative potential and most authentic self.
Our primary goal will be to build a community of practice where young people feel seen, affirmed and welcomed. Showcase your work with the larger community: uplift youth voices, foster a sense of belonging and dialogue.
HERBAL / EARTH MEDICINE
We believe we need to be in relationship with the land, our personal stories and our community as a continuous practice. Reconnect with your sense of identity, place and life purpose with the support of peer mentors, elders, educators and plant allies. Define what healing and wellness looks like for you.
Open to youth 14-24.
“Herbalism, ancestry, and community-building relate to my healing process by reminding me how to erase the layers from a story I had forgotten I am the teller of. In the past, I would second guess my power. Now I hone my intuitive skills, allowing me to recall (and thus re-birth) simpler times when I did not have fear as my compass. Lion’s Tooth Project reminded me of my true origin in this land and ways to give back purely.”
— Community WORKSHOPS —
Lion’s Tooth Project collaborates with different organizations, collectives, and schools to facilitate workshops that foster a sense of community and reflection around our diverse and intersecting identities through photography and plant medicine. Our community workshops and youth programs are co-facilitated by LTP youth.
Bring us to your school, organization, or event! All ages welcome.
— EDUCATOR DEVELOPMENT TRAININGs —
In an effort to best be of service to youth we offer trainings for educators and teachers to support the expansion of more inclusive and affirming spaces in community spaces, classrooms, and after-school programs. We believe in creating spaces where educators can exchange best practices, challenges, and unlearn to learn as an essential tool. We offer workshops to incorporate a gender expansive lens, understand harm and accountability in the classroom, and foster a culture of community.
All of our trainings/workshops are tailored for space-holders, mentors, teachers, educators, administrators, teaching artists, and folks invested in honoring the intersecting identities and experiences of all their students.
“I’ve had the pleasure of working with Natalia over the last few years. We’ve collaborated in different ways, they’ve worn many hats supporting youth in different organizations. Consistently, they inspire deep-thinking, creativity, leadership, and bravery amongst their students. Most impressively, they bring care and connectivity to everything they lead. I’m excited to continue finding ways of collaborating with them and Lion’s Tooth Project.”
LTP receives support and in-kind donations from individual donors, non-profit organizations and foundations.
