YouthBeat
At YouthBeat, we believe that media has the power to transform lives and change the world. Our media career pipeline, built in partnership with Oakland Unified School District, is an engine of opportunity and employment for underresourced, underrepresented Oakland students. Students in our programs learn to tell stories using state-of-the-art, industry-standard media gear. They learn from and work alongside accomplished media professionals. They also become part of a peer community that supports success – many call it a “family.” And for many students, their time at Youth Beat is life-changing. They become confident, find their voice, develop a sense of competence and self-worth, and begin building a vision for their future -- as well as skills to enter a growing, exciting career field. It’s the kind of opportunity and experience we all want for our own kids . . . but it’s also the kind of experience that’s simply inaccessible to most underserved, underrepresented students in East and West Oakland. Wanna help? Youth Beat’s fee-for-service production company, Youth Beat PRO is ready to serve your video needs! You’ll get a professionally produced product at a reasonable price . . . AND you’ll provide exceptional, resume-building experience to a hardworking, talented young person who is dreaming big and building a career!
