home      Youth Media Corps: Poetic Roots
 

Project Description
The Youth Media Corps at KQED was established in 1999 with the goal of bringing youth perspectives into mainstream media. Toward this end, youth are taught media literacy, journalism and media production, culminating in a media campaign that uses the Web, television broadcast and public relations.
 
Mission Statement
Through this campaign, we hope to show adults how unfair and untrue most stereotypes of youth are and that these stereotypes influence the way adults and youth interact. We feature empowered young people to highlight the many great things youth are doing, especially to help out their communities and each other.
