Adobe Youth Voices Redwood City Boys and Girls Club

Victor Rosas, Redwood City, Boys and Girls Club (music video shot with Flip camera)
Victors politically conscious video talks about the obstacles he faces in his life, from poverty to violence to drugs.

This video was created by Bay Area youth as part of the Adobe Youth Voices (AYV) initiative. Adobe Youth Voices is the Adobe Foundations global philanthropic arm that empowers youth from underserved communities with digital media skills so they can comment on their world, share their ideas and take action on issues that are important to them. By harnessing the energy and insight of young people, Adobe Youth Voices aims to inspire a dialogue for change in communities, both in the Bay Area and around the world.

The program teaches youth to express themselves through documentary film-making, photography, print journalism, radio diaries, animation, Web communications and other media. The Adobe Youth Voices global network currently includes 158 sites in 31 countries, with over 20,000 youth and 1,000 educators. For more information, visit www.adobe.com/go/youthvoices.

As part of the Adobe Youth Voices program, Adobe has just launched Plant and Inspire, a public service campaign that immerses people directly into the creative process and inspires them to social action.
