Youth Media Academy

****UPDATE: due to the mandatory "stay-at-home" and "shelter-in-place" lockdown, we are not scheduling any courses until it is safe to resume regular activities. Stay healthy and be safe everyone!****

The Community Media Center of Marin (CMCM) is excited to announce the launch of our new Youth Media Academy (YMA).

Join CMCM to sign up for the Youth Media Academy and receive professional-quality production training available to youth in Marin County and throughout the Bay Area. As a YMA member, every student will learn audio & video production, which includes camera operation, studio production, and video editing workshops. This unique program will be filled with fun activities engaging participants in a cohesive and entertaining educational experience. This is a wonderful hands-on opportunity for any student to become completely immersed in digital media production.

These Youth Media Academy courses will offer certifications for the Multi-Field Camera Production workshops. Once these 4 courses are completed, students will be required to attend a live public school event to crew, film, and produce together.

As a YMA member, you are eligible to receive certification by taking our additional general member courses offered at CMCM, including the Basic Studio Production and Final Cut Pro X Editing workshops. We encourage our students to take every class to ensure the full spectrum of our educational program.

SPRING 2020: We are scheduled to have 4 classes on the following dates:
- Monday, March 2nd (from 4-7pm) **class completed**
