[Stephen Fonzo]

Jason,

Thanks for passing this along.  It would be great for the IMC to participate
in this somehow.  Here are some ways in which we can help, if the Boys and
Girls Club is interested in utilizing our resources and connections in the
community:

1) At the IMC we have a community radio station (WRFU 104.5), media
production lab (audio/video), and independent newspaper (Public i), among
other artistic and civic projects.  We can offer teens in the program
hands-on experience in writing, shooting, interviewing, and producing their
own local news stories for radio, public-access television (UPTV), print,
and the Internet.  Our volunteers could tailor their experience to the teen
computer center's curriculum.

2) We also have a large performance and conference space if the club is
interested in holding an event or meeting.

Please let them know that we would be glad to meet with them to learn more
about their plans and their vision for a youth media program.

-Stephen
