The Westside Media Project works with young people to develop a voice on the issues that impact them and their neighborhoods with a goal of establishing more civic awareness and engagement. Westside Media Project helps its participants of all ages develop media and tech-related interests to utilize their words, voices, and skill sets to tell their own stories for individual and community transformation.
