Mission Statement
Street-Level Youth Media educates Chicago's urban youth in media arts and emerging technologies for use in self-expression, communication, and social change. Street-Level's programs build critical thinking skills for young people who have been historically neglected by public policy makers and mass media. Using video and audio production, computer art and the Internet, Street-Level's youth address community issues, access advanced communication technology and gain inclusion in our information-based society.
Description
Street-Level is committed to engaging the multiple creativities of young people and promoting self-expression and critical thinking through its in-school and after-school media arts programming. Street-Level programs now include video production, audio recording, television production, animation, web design, and graphic arts. In addition to the programs we host in our own space, Street Level instructors now conduct classes and workshops throughout Chicago via partnerships with schools and other youth agencies.
