VOX ATL taking applications for summer multimedia production program
VOX ATL, a non-profit organization that calls itself “Atlanta’s home for uncensored teen publishing and self-expression” is taking applications for its Media Cafe summer program.
Media Cafe is a two-week program that introduces teens to multimedia production, journalism and public speaking. Working in VOX ATL’s downtown office, teens get hands-on experience with writing, video editing, podcasting and graphic design. They also take field trips and meet creative professionals who work in Atlanta.
The program is open to ages 13-19. It’s free, although participants are asked to provide a $100 deposit to hold their spot. The deposit is returned at the end of the session. (Deposit waivers may be available, based on financial need.)
The application deadline is May 22. To learn more, visit the Media Cafe page.
