Participants will collaborate with media professionals to create educational content for delivery via digital channels. The summer program will give students hands-on production experience with Africatown Seattle and partners’ media platforms.
This is a fun opportunity to capture the stories of our everyday community members who make the Central District a thriving space for the City of Seattle residents & visitors.
All students who will be in 6th – 12th grade in Fall of this year are invited to apply. If you have any additional questions please email wgc@africatownlandtrust.org and we will assist you.
