Why this Project is Important
Potential Long Term Impact
Youth will gain video production skills that will provide them with marketable skills for the workplace, will gain heightened self-esteem, will learn how to work collaboratively and on a team, and will learn how to make their voice heard.

We’ve partnered with many different agencies to serve youth, and rarely do we find a partner with the ability and passion to provide youth a comprehensive, values-based experience like SCAN can.
