HOME's Media Lab Partnership progam provides its partner schools with resources to create or expand their media literacy and production programs. Central to the partnership is the creation of a media lab; a shared space within the school equipped with Mac editing systems and production equipment, and a Media Lab Coordinator. The Lab Coordinator manages the lab, designs and teaches after school programs, reaches out to and assists teachers to use media projects in their classes and coordinates volunteers. Lab coordniators are usually young college grads whose age affords them with current knowledge of media trends and the ability to relate to the students they work with. HOME's MLP program is flexible to each school's needs, whether that means teaching a TV production class, assisting teachers or simply managing the lab. To learn more about the programs at each of our partner schools, follow the links at the top of the page. For more information about becoming a Lab Coordinator, see our Opportunities page.
Support for HOME's Media Lab programs has come from Edvestors, Americorps VISTA, and donations from HOME's sponsors.
