Youth Opportunities

For the sixth straight year, the EDU Film Festival is calling on Minnesota high school students to send us their best work. Each year we receive hundreds of short videos and films from all over the state of Minnesota. Our panel of media educators narrows the field down to approximately fifty shorts that will play at the festival in May.

The SPNN Summer Youth Intern Program is an intensive paid training program where St. Paul teens work together to make meaningful media about community issues. This program provides young people entering grades 9-12 with hands-on media production experience. Interns learn camera operation, interviewing, and digital editing to create their own short documentary videos. Watch this video to see some of the fun interns had last year.
