About EVC

The Educational Video Center is a non-profit youth media organization dedicated to teaching documentary video as a means to develop the artistic, critical literacy, and career skills of young people, while nurturing their idealism and commitment to social change. Founded in 1984, EVC is a nationally acclaimed leader in the fields of youth media arts and education.

Documentary Workshop is a 15-week credit-bearing course that teaches high school students from underserved communities across New York City to research, shoot, and edit compelling documentaries that examine issues of immediate relevance in their lives.

Each year, the most talented and committed graduates of EVC's Documentary Workshop further develop their skills as media-makers through Youth Organizers Television (YO-TV), a paid ten-month internship program. Producing a video commissioned by a client, the YO-TV crewmembers make important professional contacts and work in an environment of support as they transition from high school into college and the media job market.
