Building The Next Generation of Change Makers - Inside P3 📝🔔

About this episode
Class is in session. 🎓This episode, we're sitting down with Sierra Singetti Daniels, co-founder of P3 Civics, to talk about what happens when journalism and education collide and a generation of young people learn that their voice is actually a weapon for change.We're getting into it all: how P3 started with a partnership with the NAACP of Albany, why it operates as an LLC instead of a nonprofit, the social justice mission projects happening in Albany and Schenectady, the journalism programs now reaching Utica and NYC, and how Sierra is teaching students to turn frustration into real, tangible action.We also talk about staying grounded in heavy times, what it meant to be named a 2026 Gloria Fellow, and the advice she'd give anyone chasing a purpose that isn't fully built yet.This is bigger than an episode. This is a blueprint. 🌱TIMESTAMPS0:00 Introduction & Welcome to Another MOV with P30:13 Class Is in Session: Today's Objectives0:41 Welcome to Sierra's Space0:55 Segment 1: Why Civic Engagement?2:11 P3 as an LLC vs. a Nonprofit3:03 The Origin Story of P34:12 Albany NAACP & P3 Collaborate5:43 What Shaped Sierra to Lead6:34 Segment 2: The Social Justice Mission Project9:34 Journalism as a Tool for Change10:41 P3 Empowering Youth: From Venting to Building13:00 P3 Empowering Youth: Beyond the Classroom14:29 Sierra's View on Social Media & Change15:49 Segment 3: Why Partnerships Matter to Sierra & P317:55 Personal Shoutouts to the Partners18:47 How Sierra Stays Grounded: Personal Wellness19:24 How P3 Builds Wellness Into the Program20:58 Becoming a Gloria Fellow23:19 Sierra's Advice to You: Bet on Yourself24:26 Conclusion: TT x P3 Signing Off — Thank You!25:03 Call to Action: Support P3's Mission ✨ResourcesAll visuals, community partner information, and program details referenced in this episode were sourced from (www. p3civics.org) and the organization's Instagram Account.
