Media LIteracy is one of the most critical skills in navigating the creative and business workplace! That Street-Level offers FREE workshops and skills training to kids who don't have access to the latest equipment or personal training puts them on the top of my Chicago non-profit list. They've been doing this for nearly 20 years, and have grown smartly without losing sight of their most valuable audience... the youth! If you care about amplifying the voice of kids in your neighborhood, by donating money, equipment, or by hosting a fundraiser, or teaching a workshop, definitely get in touch!
