About Us

Wide Angle Youth Media provides Baltimore youth with opportunities to tell their stories using video technology, critical thinking, and public speaking skills. Our video workshops, public screenings of student work, and youth-run television programs aim to make media make a difference. We train over 130 youth yearly in media literacy and production, and community-based distribution.

In partnership with community organizations and educational institution, we host public events that share our students' work with 9,000 audience members annually. Wide Angle also supports the broader youth media field through professional development for educators, and distribution opportunities such as our citywide Youth Media Festival.
