Conscious Youth Media Crew is a San Francisco-based youth-driven, digital media production studio. We provide the technology and training necessary for inner city youth to create quality media that represents their experiences, stimulates meaningful dialogue, and promotes social change. Conscious Youth Media Crew participants become life long learners who gain workforce skills to help shape a successful future for themselves and their communities.

Youth practice positive self-expression, leadership, informed decision-making, advocacy, and community involvement while using the latest digital video production technologies. CYMC supports youth in developing their voices and sharing their diverse perspectives and rarely heard stories with a wider audience of peers and community members.

Each year, we produce, screen and broadcast over 25 short films written, directed and edited entirely by youth. All CYMC produced media is shared on the web, radio, television, and at film festivals, schools and community events.
