youth media
My good friends at the Center for Media Education sent me a list of youth-led civic projects that use the Internet. Here are a few great examples from their list:
- Teen Consumer Scrapbook (Sponsored by the Washington State Attorney General's Office)
- Flint Profiles ("By teaching information access and computer technology as tools for change, this project aims to empower high school students to succeed as decision makers who influence community leaders to respond to their ideas for change. Through this project, young activists will learn to put their passion into action.")
- Harlem Live (Mission: "To empower a diverse group of youth towards leadership using experience and exposure to media and technology. ... HarlemLive is award winning, critically acclaimed web magazine produced by teens from throughout New York City".)
- Street
Level ("Street-Level Youth Media educates Chicago's inner-city youth
in media
arts and emerging technologies for use in self-expression communication, and social change.") - Wire Tap
("WireTap is the independent information source by and for socially conscious
youth. We showcase investigative news articles, personal essays and opinions,
artwork and activism resources that challenge stereotypes, inspire creativity,
foster dialogue and give young people a voice in the media.")
