Our Mission

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.
CYMC integrates three layers of learning into all of our programs:
Voice and Identity
Hands-on Technology
Arts Appreciation
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.
