Below are a few examples of project groups:
Girl-illa Media
Girl-illa Media is an opportunity for young women to experience media arts and digital technology within an active project environment that supports their development as authentic, self-defined women and future leaders in the digital realm. Project focus includes photography, creative writing, gaming, design, filmmaking, and community outreach.
Girl-illa Media is about girls having fun and feeling empowered to pursue any interest or aspiration they may have. We believe they are our future game developers, sound technicians, authors, designers, filmmakers, and creative innovators.
The Change Society @ YOUmedia
The Change Society is a youth-led, mentor-supported program that provides multiple spaces where youth can develop and exercise their technical and leadership skills, both individually and collectively, to reach, inform, engage, entertain, and inspire. The Change Society strives to maintain a diverse membership base, with a clearly defined vision and organizing strategy. The curriculum is project-driven and builds upon DYN’s base of cultural capital, new media awareness, and social agency.
The Change Society is about youth-created media, social networking, and connection (internal and external). By reaching out to the larger community, the Change Society seeks to have community residents, businesses, schools, and libraries working together to organize for improved conditions and opportunities for young people, the causes they wish to support, and the problems they seek to change in society.
Our goal is to provide and collaborate on projects for youth to think critically and engage actively in social and financial empowerment for themselves, their communities, and society as a whole, while using new media skills to create multiple roads to such expressions. At YOUmedia, Change Society uses the library as a central space to cultivate ideas, digital skills, and various resources. The library itself becomes the living symbol of knowledge, research, community outreach, and change.
