THE MISSION OF WESTSIDE MEDIA PROJECT IS TO EXPOSE AREA YOUTH AND COMMUNITY RESIDENTS TO NETWORKS, OPPORTUNITIES, AND PATHWAYS IN MEDIA/TECH-RELATED FIELDS... BY USING THEIR WORDS AND VOICES TO TELL THEIR OWN STORIES FOR INDIVIDUAL AND COMMUNITY TRANSFORMATION.
Ultimately, our organization gives urban youth from underserved neighborhoods a distinct voice. We are subtly shifting the lens of media and the look of typical media reporters to demonstrate that youth from at-risk neighborhoods facing critical social and economic challenges have unique perspectives and can deliver those perspectives to broader audiences.
