“I felt as if with a camera I could make a difference.” 

– JAMAL MANNING, 11TH GRADER, METROPOLITAN HIGH SCHOOL

Transforming teens into active citizens through a hands on video education.

Why Schools Need MyBlock

Video is becoming the dominant form of global communication.

Technology bridges the gap between under-represented communities and mainstream media.

People who can express opinions with technology have the power to enact social change.

Schools are not receiving proper funding for video literacy programs.

The MyBlock Impact

  • Active Citizens

    Encouraging a sensitive, active, and critical approach to community.

  • Empowered Voices

    Providing the technical tools and instruction to develop an independent artistic voice.

  • A Global Dialogue

    Informing public opinion in a global dialogue that extends beyond classroom walls.

  • An Enriched Education

    Strengthening teacher/student dynamics through a discussion of personal topics.

  • The Next Storytellers

    Enabling the filmmakers of tomorrow to discover the power of video.

“MyBlock offers teenagers a unique opportunity to tell a story and voice their experiences. It frees them from academic constraints and allows them to be imaginative, individualistic, and genuinely express themselves.”

– SANDRA CRUZ, TEACHER, THOMAS EDISON CTE
