Little Media Creators
Little Media Creators LLC is a New York City–based youth media arts and enrichment organization serving students in grades K–12. We provide engaging programs in filmmaking, photography, podcasting, and journalism, creative expression, chess, and career‑connected media exploration for youth across NYC.
Why Little Media Creators Was Created
Little Media Creators was founded on a simple belief: young people deserve spaces where their ideas are taken seriously, and their creativity is nurtured, not limited. Too often, youth—especially those from underserved communities—lack access to creative tools, mentorship, and opportunities to explore their interests and imagine future careers.
We created Little Media Creators to help close that gap. Our goal is to allow students to explore media, storytelling, and strategic thinking in ways that feel exciting, accessible, and empowering. We believe creativity is not just an art form—it is a pathway to confidence, communication, and possibility.
Our Mission
Our mission extends to bridging gaps and breaking barriers. We're dedicated to working with youth of color, particularly those from challenging backgrounds, often underserved in our communities and schools. Our aim is to empower and uplift, ensuring every young individual, regardless of their circumstances, has the chance to flourish.
At the core of our mission is the drive to equip our youth with tangible career pathways. Through various multimedia and visual arts programs, we open doors to unconventional vocations often overlooked in conventional education. We're here to nurture talents, cultivate an entrepreneurial mindset, and pave the way for success in a world brimming with opportunities.
