CITY™ Non-Profit delivers hands-on video training for youth and adults through real projects that build storytelling, production, and teamwork skills. We work with schools, libraries, and community organizations to turn learning into public-facing work that serves the community.
CITY™ Non-Profit teaches camera, sound, lighting, editing, interviewing, and story structure through guided, project-based learning. The goal is not just technical exposure. The goal is for participants to create something real: a short video, interview, event piece, reel, or community showcase that reflects the people and places around them.
Creative skill-building with structure, teamwork, and confidence on set and in the edit.
Participants learn the actual roles, tools, and workflow behind media production.
Programs can document neighborhoods, partners, events, and local voices through media.
A hands-on cohort experience for youth and adults.
Participants learn the foundations of visual storytelling while getting comfortable with equipment and core shot choices.
We introduce practical lighting setups, question design, and on-camera interviewing for clear, engaging stories.
The group moves into real-world production planning, crew roles, communication, and collaborative execution.
Participants shape footage into finished pieces with pacing, sound, titles, and basic motion elements.
The cohort presents work publicly or semi-publicly and reflects on process, outcomes, and next steps.
We collaborate with libraries, schools, park programs, community centers, and nonprofit organizations that want meaningful media education tied to real community engagement.
Neighborhood storytelling cohorts, workshops, and public-facing screenings.
After-school, in-school, or enrichment formats centered on production and collaboration.
Program documentation, participant training, and storytelling projects rooted in local impact.
CITY Events now sits under the CITY™ Non-Profit umbrella: screenings, workshops, showcases, wellness activations, and community media moments.
CITY Events is no longer treated as a separate top-level lane in this staged structure. It functions as the live activation and public-programming arm of CITY™ Non-Profit, with future domain-facing assets intended for city-non-profit.org.
We’re building this page into a home for program photos, student videos, partner spotlights, and short reels. As projects launch, this section will document outcomes and showcase participant work.
After-school programming, youth employment pipelines, creative workforce development, digital storytelling initiatives, neighborhood documentation, library media labs, and nonprofit community engagement.
If your organization wants a partner for media education, mentorship, or civic storytelling programming, let’s talk about a pilot, workshop, cohort, or showcase.
