UHCC’s Youth-Led Media Project enables young people to create their own television programs, magazines, photography exhibits, web pages, and personal projects focusing on youth, family and community issues.  Through their involvement with the Youth-Led Media Project, youth develop skills in media literacy, video production and web design.  Simultaneously, students begin strengthening community ties and educating others on important issues.
