Wide Angle Youth Media is a Baltimore nonprofit that trains over 500 Baltimore City youth each year in media production and leadership skills so that they can tell their own stories and represent themselves and their communities. To do this requires sturdy equipment in good working condition, so that our students have the best possible learning environment. All in-kind donors receive a donation letter, and are acknowledged in our annual report and on our website.

Please contact our Managing and Development Director, Susan Malone at 443-759-6700 or email susanATwideanglemedia.org if you would like to make a donation. Thank you!
