Your Media’s Into Focus is one of the most innovative ways for our different communities to better understand one another.  It really makes a difference for the participants and for Northwest Arkansas.

—Zessna Garcia, DREAM Act youth advocate

Into Focus Media Empowerment Projects teach the art of digital storytelling to groups of people who are sometimes the target of prejudice. We believe that capturing people's stories on video puts a human face to what we sometimes see as "issues" and is a powerful way to change opinions, behaviors and our community for the better.  If you or your group are interested in Your Media designing an Into Focus project for you, please contact our executive director at anne@your-media.org

A current empowerment project:

Your Media is currently accepting participant applications and donations for its Into Focus-Empowering LGBT and Latino Youth through the Art of Digital Storytelling project. Into Focus — Empowering LGBT and Latino Youth through the Art of Digital Storytelling builds bridges of understanding for the often-targeted Latino and LGBT communities by empowering youth to share their very human stories with the larger community in which they live, work and learn. Here is a link to a story The Free Weekly ran about Into Focus: http://www.freeweekly.com/2012/04/05/into-focus/
