The Baltimore Speaks Out! Program, in partnership with the Enoch Pratt Free Library, provides youth ages 11-15 with media education right in their own community. Through 10-week afterschool programs focusing on video production, critical thinking, public speaking, teambuilding, and youth development skills, young people create their own video about youth and community concerns. Students are eligible to earn service learning hours for their participation. Our current BSOP workshops are held at the Herring Run and the Orleans Street branches of the Enoch Pratt Free Library.
