Founded in 1984, EVC has evolved from a single video workshop for teenagers from Manhattan’s Lower East Side to become an internationally acclaimed leader in youth media and education. EVC’s teaching methodology brings together the powerful traditions of student-centered progressive education and independent community documentary.
Educational Video Center's Interests
General
DOCUMENTARY WORKSHOP is a 15-week credit-bearing course that teaches high school students from undeserved communities across New York City to research, shoot, and edit compelling documentaries that examine issues of immediate relevance in their lives.
YOUTH ORGANIZERS TELEVISION (YO-TV) is a ten-month pre-professional paid internship that jumpstarts the college and media careers of graduates of the Documentary Workshop.
EXTERNAL EDUCATION PROGRAMS provide workshops and resources in media production and EVC’s methodology, including EVC’s Youth-Powered Video DVD Curriculum, for K-12 teachers and after-school educators, nationally and abroad.
COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT promotes civic engagement and social change through the distribution of EVC’s youth-produced documentaries in collaboration with strategic partners.
About me: The Educational Video Center is a non-profit youth media organization
dedicated to teaching documentary video as a means to develop the artistic,
critical literacy, and career skills of young people, while nurturing their
idealism and commitment to social change.
Education is not a preparation for life; education is life itself.
Who I'd like to meet: Students interested in the program, Other youth media organizations, Educators, Teachers in training and Youth service providers.
