Ep 26: Library Apprenticeship Feature: Moua Yang

November 30, 2023 • Libraries in Bloom

Meet Moua Yang, senior undergrad studying English at the University of Wisconsin - Green Bay and an individual passionate about creative writing and storytelling. Moua’s background being Hmong American and working closely with youth at the Boys & Girls Club led him to participate in our library apprenticeship initiative. He completed his apprenticeship at the Elisha D. Smith Public Library in Menasha, WI and was mentored by Kirk Moore-Nokes, the Programming Supervisor at that library. Tune in to hear more about Moua's apprenticeship experience including the workshop, Character Creation, that he developed for youth in the community.
