Miriam Gennari, the founder of the SustainableScoop. The original “Scoop” began as a public-access TV segment in 2012. Since then, Miriam has interviewed over 200 guests. These interview segments can be seen on YouTube on the SustainableScoop channel. In 2020, Miriam established The SustainableScoop as an independent public-access show, taking over production. She continues to upload these programs to YouTube. Currently she is further expanding the SustainableScoop into a dynamic non-profit organization founded in Arlington, VA, with a mission to inspire engagement while supporting access to educational and organizational requirements like community service hours and internships.
Motivated by Sweden’s Greta Thunberg's call to her fellow students to walk out of their classrooms and protest in the street, SustainableScoop saw a need to provide more options than school strikes. Young people need a way to voice their concerns and share their ideas on how to protect the future of our planet. The goal is to create a news crew made up of the teens. No more waiting on the sidelines for their turn to speak our teens provide the programming and we support their efforts.
Our courses are administered by well-vetted and connected civic leaders. Students will learn to develop real world journalistic and research capabilities that interlock with the content they develop. The courses are in great need during this time of Covid-19. when so many minors are finding themselves isolated from all opportunities to personally engage and network. Schools have been slow to adapt, and organizations are finding it hard to tap the “energy of the young.” By developing the networking and public speaking experience gained through Minor Missions, Interview for Impact, and Youth Mobilization events, students gain the experience they need to become fully engaged citizens. Across America and around the world, minors, who are still unable to vote, are doing more than playing games on their phones; they are making films, organizing, sharing research, and addressing some of the planet’s most complex issues.
These are their stories.

Interview for Impact Internship This course is about discovering the complexities of sustainability from a practical perspective. High school students research a topic from many angles and learn how to express support or concern without confusing opinion and fact. They are challenged to explore a topic that concerns them while remaining objective and skeptical of anything they have not researched themselves. With the benefit of a professional mentor, students are guided through a process of inquiry and analysis, while also exploring the right person to interview on their self-chosen topic.
