The Beauty Turner Academy of Oral History is back for the summer of 2025!
The Beauty Turner Academy is one of the National Public Housing Museum’s flagship programs: a multi-week, virtual, intergenerational and PAID intensive training program for current and former public housing residents, as well as close community members of public housing. We teach a values-based approach to oral/narrative history, centering marginalized people from all interests and backgrounds—not just those who see themselves as historians.
We envision a world where residents are empowered to document, preserve, share, and celebrate narrative histories from their perspectives—the people who call public housing home.
Interested in learning more about the program, what you will learn, and how to apply? Join us on Zoom at our Info Session on Tuesday, April 8 at 6:30p CT (7:30p ET | 4:30p PT). We’ll talk about what to expect during the application and selection process, along with sharing more about the program itself.
About the program
The Beauty Turner Academy will be 11 weeks (June 9–August 29, 2025), and will include a participant stipend, training workbook, and equipment starter kit.
This program is entirely virtual, so interested parties from across the country are welcome to apply. More information can be found on the Beauty Turner Academy webpage.
Applications are OPEN and due April 25.
