Mission Statement
To provide education and instruction about how media tools can help bring about positive social change.
Description
The Northwest Institute for Social Change teaches college students, journalists and other non-profits how media tools can be used to help bring about positive social change. Each summer, for example, we host an eight-week intense program for a dozen select college students. They attended media classes in the morning and spend their afternoons working hands-on with audio and video documentary projects that look at specific social issues--and potential solutions. In addition, we teach media seminars (free, no cost to the participants) for non-profits to learn how to produce better media products that can articulate their missions and messages.
