The Youth Media Program is a year round media arts program for high school students. We are directly funded by our local city partners, Enroot, Next Up, Cambridge Housing Authority’s Workforce Development Program, and the Mayor’s Summer Youth Employment Program.
The Youth Media Program is comprised of two components:
The School Year Production Program (SYPP) is an afterschool program designed to provide teens with an opportunity to develop career readiness, media production skills, confidence, and portfolio building experience.
The Summer Media Institute (SMI) is a six-week work experience and media production program run through a partnership with the Mayor's Summer Youth Employment Program. Each summer, teens in the program attend workshops and learn: how to operate cameras, professional editing, lighting and audio, animation and graphic design, media art, technical production, and computer application skills. As participants develop media skills, they are paid to work as media artists while producing a variety of projects.
