Project Description:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

G-Star is a 12 week (4 hours Saturday only) film and television arts and sciences camp open to at risk young people, as well as all Palm Beach County middle and high school students.  The program will train the students in 1) classroom education, 2) hands-on apprenticeship, 3) filming and producing TV broadcasts of atrs and learning programs for young people and 4) producing original productions created by the students, themselves, which will appear on Channel 20.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Services Provided/Benefit to State:

 

 

 

 

 

This is a internship program for at risk children, which will be beneficial to our county and state as a whole.

The G-Star program is a "feeder system" which will keep students in school, instead of dropping out, as well as improve their grades.  The program helps to promote the interests of its' students, which leads them to the university level.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Measurable Outcome Anticipated:

 

 

 

 

 

The project gives real-world experience to troubled teens making employment oppurtunities available.  This program helps keep troubled teens from falling through the cracks, sparking interests which promote higher education to succeed in the broadcasting and production field.
