Digital Connectors Video Project

My project is a compilation of videos produced by youth participating in a program called “Digital Connectors” in various cities across the country. The program was started by a global non-profit, One Economy Corporation, whose goal is to “[use] innovative approaches to deliver the power of technology and information to low-income people, giving them valuable tools for building better lives.” The various Digital Connectors programs aim to give youth the technological competency they need to both be successful in their own lives and to help their communities to use technology effectively to reach both individual and collective goals.

The YouTube videos I found are of interviews the students conducted within their own groups and of video projects the Digital Connectors created exploring their sense of identity. Each video stands well on its own, but I discovered so many common themes that rearranging the videos by topic made more sense. My video is intended to illustrate the achievements of the program as told by its participants, a sort of promotional snippet showing the collective impact of the program. Enjoy!
