MyBlock Education is a New York City-based program that empowers the next generation of storytellers by transforming teens into active citizens through the power of video. With a simple and low-cost education model, students use video as a tool for self-expression, informing public opinion, developing relationships with their neighborhoods, and becoming active participants in their communities.
The MyBlock Education Program has successfully made filmmakers out of 1,500 New York City kids, who have produced films that provide insight into the lives and struggles of the next generation of New Yorkers. Through the MyBlock Student Video Map, viewers can experience New York City through the eyes of its teens, gaining a unique perspective on various neighborhoods and issues. By bringing the MyBlock experience to organizations and schools, students are given the opportunity to discover their talent and engage in a global dialogue through the power of video.
