-EVT Mission Statement
EVT's MEDIA MAGIC WITH MT. VERNON, NY
Launched in early 2013 Media Magic is a a youth/community outreach project and incubator in collaboration with the City of Mt. Vernon, New York. Students aged 14 & up work diligently with our dedicated volunteers where they learn through journalism workshops as well as lab tech programs that included video documentary production techniques and digital graphic arts training. To learn more about this project and become involved please reach out to us via our Contact page.
Educational Resources
We marry video documentary production techniques and training to the distribution outlets / ideas on multi-platforms, to motivate at-risk urban, suburban, and rural youngsters to "tune in," "turn on," and "activate" their own creativity, history and culture. In doing so, we equip them to compete with their peers nationally and internationally with the latest technological expertise. We show and teach them that being a provider does infinitely more for their growth, self-esteem and pocketbook than being a consumer. in an effort to give access to all we have compiled various works that can be used as reference material for teachers and students alike.
