Youth Media Project Participants The Comox Valley Art Gallery’s Youth Media Project is a program for community action through media involving 7 participants between the ages of 16 – 30. In this 13-week program, participants will receive training in video production, and work with a network of community partners to create videos through work placements - highlighting community resources, and presenting ideas for community change.

Through the program, each participant will produce two short videos. The first video will speak directly to what folks might reimagine or see done better in our community.

The second video will be created while placed with a work experience organization and/or business. Participants consult with the work experience about an idea, shoot and edit a video and obtain final approval during rough and fine cut stages.
