If your July went by in the blink of an eye... same. 😭🫠
Looking back, here are the Top 5 posts from Youthopia, NYC's youth media platform, that made our July a little more memorable.
What About Friendship?
Making friends as an adult feels like a full-time job. 😮💨We hit the streets to find out how youths are making new friends these days.
Red Flag or Green Flag?
Is calling out your group leader in front of everyone a 🚩? We got youths to weigh in on some surprisingly divisive scenarios.
Joining a New Community ft. Caliversity
Ever wanted to try calisthenics? 💪 We joined Caliversity to see what it's all about (and watched Jovan attempt his first handstand).
“Small” Wins That Are Huge as an Adult
Sometimes the little wins deserve the biggest celebrations. 🥹✨
