The Problem

Positive Minds uses fun project based learning exercises to teach internet safety and responsibility by providing young people with the newest communications devices, media literacy lessons, and opportunities to use these tools as instruments for advocacy and social change.

Plan of Action

We go into communities and work with young people directly in their communities in places where they hang out. We set up anywhere from community centers to corner stores to provide six week long lessons and media making tools.
