What is Wide Angle Youth Media ? Wide Angle Youth Media is a 501 ( c ) 3 non‐profit organization that provides Baltimore youth with media education to tell their own stories and become engaged with their communities . Through quality after‐school programming , in‐school opportunities , summer workshops , community events , and an annual Youth Media Festival , Wide Angle supports young people making a difference through media .
There is rarely a dull moment at Wide Angle Youth Media , an organization created to teach youth media and professional skills that will help prepare for the colleges and careers they will pursue following high school . The building is regularly bustling with students and teachers rushing from location to location as they prepare for shoots . Keyboard tapping punctures the air regularly as projects are edited during post production . This summer allowed me to become submersed in this exciting environment and to work closely with the teachers and students on the projects at hand in every stage , from planning pitches , to dressing sets , to assisting with editing as needed . Wide Angle has taught me so much , how to better guide students , as well as incredible insight into how a non‐profit such as this works by allowing me to help with strategic planning for the future and updating their social media strategy . This summer was incredible , and taught me so much while also being a fun , hands‐on , way to learn . The students are all very talented and fun to work with , bringing new ideas to the table every day . The staff are all kind and knowledgeable , helping me to better understand how to complete tasks as well as how to help others in the process . ‐ Emily
