Youth Connected 

We are particularly passionate about supporting and developing partnerships with youth. Most important for this partnership is that the voices of the youth are heard and their aspirations are activated. So how do we do this?

We will offer seminars, workshops and an online platform for distribution.

First, we will give marginalized youth a voice.

  • Matching seasoned filmmakers each with teams of young men and women for the duration of the course.

  • The program is designed to help the young adults unpack their stores and then translate their aspirations for change creatively to film.

  • As they learn the creative art of filmmaking and new media technology, they will also gain real, workplace skills like coming on time, being committed to a result, and demonstrating leadership.

Next, to further generate impact thorough community support we will:

  • distribute the films through an interactive and curated online platform, local popup film festivals, & established film festivals

The videos act as artifacts to further inspire other young people themselves but also others all around the country.

Finally, we will measure outcomes via surveys and process mapping. For more information please click here.
