teenagers learn to use software to create movies, documentaries and
narratives through Youth Made Media (YM2), a program of the nonprofit
City Parks Foundation that offers young people, ages 13 to l9 from
low-income communities, a structured learning experience in video and
audio production, media literacy, new media, academic support and life
skills training. Teens master valuable technology skills, gaining
knowledge in a broad range of standard and specialized industry
software, and explore careers and workplaces. The program gives
inner-city youth the opportunity to express themselves artistically,
develop leadership skills, discover their talents and learn how to
produce original shows for the Public Access Youth Network.
