Documentary Internship
This internship’s goal is to produce a documentary style observation of the YouthGROW program in the summer of 2007. YouthGROW is in its fifth year as a unique, dynamic, youth-empowering, consensus-based program that fosters leadership in its participants and affects positive change in the community. We always answer questions about how the program works, what our discussions are like, and how youth react to the program, and it is never an easy explanation, so in order to show the world how our program works we want to make a documentary about it. The best candidate for this position is familiar with video editing and recording.

Time Requirements: The time requirements for this internship are flexible, but the project will require self-reliance and independent time-management to accomplish the documentary in a timely fashion.
