Filmmaking Mentors (MTMS)
ORGANIZATION: The Young Storytellers Foundation
Please visit the new page to apply.
Help a middle school student make their own short film and teach them the power of their voice.
Young Storytellers' middle school program, Movie Makers, is a two semester program where students write, film, and edit their very own short films. Students also pitch their projects to industry professionals and have a final screening at a nearby studio.
Guided by a Head Mentor, Movie Makers mentors meet with their students Thursdays after school, play educational games, learn the elements of film, and then get down to business writing, filming, or editing. Through one-on-one mentorship, students learn that their stories matter.
Interested volunteers should email Denise@Youngstorytellers.com

Mission Statement
Young Storytellers sparks creative self-discovery through storytelling. Our programs highlight young people as the center of their own narratives, emphasize that their stories matter, and celebrate their unique voices as the ones telling them. Young Storytellers works towards a future where young people experience, through the stories they write, the impact that their thoughts, feelings, and words can have on the world in which they live. We raise voices, one story at a time.
Description
In elementary school, Young Storytellers uses storytelling to help young people explore their creativity and imagination. In middle school, we use storytelling to explore their goals for the future and what challenges might stand in their way. In high school, we use storytelling to explore the impact their voice can have in their community - and, more broadly, the world.
