Youth Media Force

A group of teens dedicated to utilize multimedia to have their voices heard, who meet every Tue/Thurs night 5:30 – 8:30pm to take on leadership to dramatically increasing media products among disadvantaged youth and fostering collaboration.

Annual Multimedia and Leadership Camp for Disadvantaged Youth

Every Fall, usually mid-late October during MN Conference for Educator weekend, AMA hosts the Multimedia and Leadership Camp for Disadvantaged Youth, targeting youth aged 14 to 19.  This four-day program provides high school students with hands-on training in the areas of Journalistic Writing, Radio and Video Production, and Editing. Students will form groups and collaborate on their final project on an issue of their choice.  Together with the help of the instructors, the youth eventually made use of their newly trained skills by focusing on a topic with which to make a video and photography gallery web site.
