Youth Media Institute is an organization that strives to empower youth to become powerful leaders and artists by using media technologies to transform images about their communities, cultures, and themselves.

In a society where media is monopolized and driven by profit, we believe in giving youth the skills and education to take action and create their own media- Media that addresses issues that effect them, that voice their stories, and that reflect their identities and cultures! We believe in using media and digital arts as a tool for self-expression, empowerment, and social change, where the youth are centered in the production and educational process.
