YME Support Teachers

Youth Media Educators has evolved over several years to become a model for youth-centered, media literacy education. The 2008-2009 program started with a six-week summer intensive that trained 13 Bay area students to analyze, produce and disseminate their stories through various media channels.

Educators and community members affiliated with these YME’s participate in 20 hours of parallel training prior to the 08/09 school year.
