The Great Divide: Wealth Inequality in America -- Interviews with Professor Frances Fox Piven, David Jones of the Community Service Society, and Occupy Wall Street protesters give a critical perspective on the growing wealth gap in our country. EVC youth producers reflect on their own families' struggles with poverty.

EVC’s programs provide students with transformative experiences. While less than two-thirds of NYC students graduate in four years, over 90% of EVC’s student filmmakers graduate high school. Most go on to college, and many work in media careers.

But we need your help to sustain this work. Please give generously to EVC and help us reach as many young people as we can.

Mortgage Mayhem: Living Inside Fraud — EVC students turn their cameras on one of their classmates, as she uncovers the truth behind her family’s struggle to keep their home. Combining personal stories and interviews with housing advocates and financial journalists, they give a human face to the foreclosure and predatory lending crisis in New York City.

Schools all over New York City are asking for EVC’s program for their students, but cuts in school budgets and private funding are making it increasingly difficult for us to keep up with this demand.

Please help us give these opportunities to as many young people as we can by giving generously this spring.

Join us for the Educational Video Center's 2nd Annual Youth-Powered Video Film Festival where we will screen selected student produced projects! A question & answer session will take place with student filmmakers after the screening.

The Youth-Powered Video Film Festival advances EVC’s mission to develop the artistic, critical literacy and career goals of young people, while nurturing their idealism and commitment to social change. EVC’s Youth-Powered Video curriculum was first implemented in 2005 to support teachers and youth workers, nationally and internationally, in the facilitation of student-centered video projects that explore issues relevant to their lives in and out of school.

During our 5-day professional development intensive, you will learn to use digital video cameras and editing software to produce a short documentary from concept to final screening.

Through this experience, you will learn to plan and facilitate engaging hands-on, media-based lessons in your classes that will build your students' 21st century literacy, critical thinking, and college/career readiness skills. Experience exciting activities and routines to integrate in your classroom.

Shadows of Ignorance – Combining personal stories with historical and contemporary struggles for gay rights, this powerful documentary gives voice to the painful discrimination and in some cases, acceptance, that LGBT youth experience with their friends and family on a daily basis.

EVC is a transformative experience. Please make a contribution and help us reach as many young people as we can with EVC’s life-changing programs by giving generously this year.

Give to EVC to ensure that the art, the eloquence, and power of EVC's youth voices will carry into the new year and the new decade.
