Youth Media Program

Media Lab Logo - Resized 

The Richmond Youth Media Program is a partnership between the City of Richmond and the Richmond Collaborative Committee for Children and Youth (RCCCY), supported by the Vancouver Coastal Health Sharon Martin Community Health (SMART) Fund. 

Service Goals
  •  Increase youth’s media arts skill set
  •  Increase youth’s inventory of free-time experiences
  •  Connect youth to peer mentors
  •  Connect youth to adult mentors
  •  Help youth develop greater connections to the community
  •  Help enrich youth’s sense of self

Programming includes drop-in sessions (during which supervised youth can work independently) and a variety of structured classes. Participants will learn media literacy skills that are relevant to their interests and will be placed in a supportive environment where they can engage with positive role models.
