Media Pathways

Connecting Creativity, Confidence, and Future Opportunities (Grades 6–12)

​The Media Pathways Program is a future-focused youth development experience that helps students explore creative interests, build transferable skills, and begin imagining pathways beyond the classroom. Drawing on media arts as a foundation, this program supports young people as they grow into confident communicators, collaborators, and emerging leaders.

​

Media Pathways is intentionally designed to complement Little Media Creators’ core programs in filmmaking, photography, podcasting & journalism, Visual Voices, and chess. Rather than teaching a single discipline, the program emphasizes how creative skills translate into real-world readiness, personal growth, and long-term opportunity.

​

Students engage in guided activities that encourage reflection, teamwork, goal-setting, and presentation. Through project-based experiences, participants learn how to manage creative ideas, contribute meaningfully to group work, and articulate their interests with clarity and confidence.
