Youth Channel is a division of Manhattan Neighborhood Network (MNN) serving young people below the age of 25. Established in 2000, MNN Youth Channel aims to give youth from all backgrounds, the opportunities to create community media, foster dialogue, and engage in social activism.
Youth Channel provides training and hands-on experience in all aspects of television production; there are internships, summer youth video programs, in-house productions, special events, free workshops, and studio tours. The production-intensive internship program has been offering high-quality field and in-studio training since Youth Channel’s inception in 2000. Youth Channel also invites youths interested in media to apply for Y.M.I.C (Youth Media Impacting Community), a quarterly internship program that offers media training and community service experience through partnership with local grassroots organizations.
