Imagine a short nature documentary. A serene pond. A busy beaver. Birds flapping by. Cut to an expert. They're 5 years old. They know a thing or two about those critters and they're happy to tell-teach the world. One kid helped mic that expert up. Another did the research. Yet another captured some amazing audio of baby herons squawking for food. You can help make that happen.
We are currently looking for skilled videographers and audiographers to help compile stock content for our DoKidmentaries programs. DoKidmentaries are nature documentaries made by kids as part of a larger educational curriculum. Team Imo will work with schools, youth groups, afterschool programs, and clubs to help children research, plan, film, and produce their own nature documentaries. We are also looking for skilled editors to help us build these finished products.
Stock footage and audio of local flora and fauna is essential to the success of this program. You can help us help kids achieve that success. Change your world by helping them change theirs.
The mission of Project Imo is to use outdoor experiential programs to help groups and communities develop relationships and skills for sustainable success and provide access to greenspaces and learning for underserved youth. By utilizing experiential education programs, community problem-solving endeavors, shared spaces for peacebuilding, and outdoor learning, Project Imo will help people build social-emotional skills, leadership skills, knowledge and competencies, and connections with nature.
