Stories are central to our work at Next American Media Makers – learning and sharing them, recording and producing them. As with almost everything worthwhile, a story truly comes alive when our own narrative shines through to connect us with our audience.
We galvanize the power of media, create positive community change, and help build the next generation of Media Makers through our five program areas below:
About NAMM
NEXT AMERICAN MEDIA MAKERS provides the training and experience for our future digital content storytellers, or “media makers,” to find a clear path to success in higher education and careers producing digital content for news, business, government or community advocacy.
Online Blended Program
We've launched a new Video/Content Producer Program designed for busy professionals. This hybrid online/classroom program is not only more accessible - it's also more affordable.
We help Cities turn their under-utilized cable access channels into powerful communications and engagement platforms while training a new digital workforce.
While we prepare students for the digital jobs and careers of the present and future, we train them to revitalize their school’s digital platforms (websites/social media) into powerhouses of engagement and advocacy.
Media company consolidation has left too many communities in “the dark” – ignored and marginalized. We are training the next generation of citizen journalists.
Based on the successful digital media youth workshops conducted for schools and nonprofit organization throughout Southern California, the Next American Media Makers launched a Career & Technical Education Training program for high school students.
