The Educational Video Center is a non-profit youth media organization dedicated to teaching documentary video as a means to develop artistic, critical literacy, and career skills of young people, while nurturing their idealism and commitment to social change.
To be successful in high school, college, and the 21st century world of work, students now need critical media and technology literacy, and the ability to collaborate, problem solve, and explore their imagination. At EVC, youth develop these capacities and learn to harness the power of media so that their voices will be heard widely on social issues that are of vital importance to our civic life.
