Youth CineMedia is a nationally recognized program that utilizes state-of-the-art technology to help teach teenagers the fundamentals of digital video, music production, photography and other multimedia. Youth CineMedia (YCM) also provides area youth with the means to create inspiring, thought-provoking media that promotes dialogue and social change, as well as the training, knowledge and relationships that help foster expression and confidence.

YCM focuses its outreach on underserved communities, with an emphasis on youth from low-income or newly-immigrated families, or those with an unfortunate history of below average school performance, substance abuse or involvement in the juvenile justice system.
