Action Youth Media is part of a wonderful collection of fellow pro - grams in the Silver Spring area, such as: Arts on the Block (www.art - sontheblock.com/); Levine Music (www.levinemusic.org/); CREATE Arts Center (https://createartscenter.org/); DOCS In Progress (www. docsinprogress.org/); and Passion 4 Learning (www.passionforlearn - ing.org/). We cooperate, share resources, and learn forward together. How To Get Involved Students and their families at Action Youth Media have made new friends, learned digital skills, built confidence, and published artworks and films at our studio, and new students continue to join the creative journey every week. Students and parents can get involved by registering for free class- es on EventBrite, applying to the Summer DOCS apprenticeship, or participating in the Fall Fest and Youth Film Festival events each year at AFI Silver. Students interested in film and activism can also par - ticipate through the Excel Beyond the Bell program in Montgomery County (https://excelbeyondthebell.org/), and soon at community centers in Takoma Park. Their films are screened and receive awards alongside professional, established filmmakers making short pieces on causes that are important to youth. All of our events and programs are free.
