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.

Would your organization like to make media about
important issues affecting youth today? Youth Channel can host on-site
and off-site trainings to your youth group.
Our community collaborations are intended to
build media literate youth through screenings of videos, discussions,
pre-production lessons, and basic hands-on training. The workshops are
not intended to be a technical certification program, but rather a
media awareness development program that will provide participants with
media exposure through media literacy and production skills.
All trainings are project based, lasting from 6-8
weeks, and conducted by the YC Peer Trainers. In the past, YC and its
community partners have collaborated to create a variety of youth made
videos, including documentaries, public service announcements, acted
narratives, sports journalism and broadcasting.
To request an application for our long-term trainings,
