110 Degrees: Tucson's Youth Tell Tucson's Stories is an annual magazine produced by youths between 14 and 21 years old. It uncovers untold stories of people of all ages, backgrounds, colors and experiences. To tell these stories, youth are mentored in research, interviewing, writing and photography by professional writers and photographers. 110 Degrees is a project of Voices: Community Stories Past and Present Inc., a Tucson-based nonprofit organization that works to document community stories and inspire individuals to explore their own stories and their connections to their communities.
