Take a Look atYouth Media Project
Youth Media Project's 2009 - 2010 season yielded an expansion of partnerships, local to international projects and youth productions. We worked within 10 distinct educational settings, offered classroom, afterschool and summer intensives, conducted on-going trainings (in tandem with teachers) to over 400 students, and produced 23 youth-generated radio broadcasts, resulting in additional broadcasts and internet distribution. Our educational programs, professional development, after-school production team and listening parties will start up in September, so stay tuned!
