This Vancouver-based initiative doesn't just give a voice to marginalized youth, it empowers them to create the voice themselves. Since 1996,this group has been providing media education and technical skills to young people who have, in the past, felt invisible or ignored by society.

The educational opportunity offered by AMES has resulted in films, videos, PSAs, and even curricular packages created and produced by the young people in the program. Encouraging both identity and issue based projects, the work created by these artists are part of a positive cycle of inspiration and understanding that resonate with everyone who is exposed to it.

Working within a grassroots, community-driven organizational structure, learn how the Access to Media Education Society is fostering talent and ideas that are opening minds and changing our world.
