Wide Angle Youth Media
The Adobe Creative Suite is essential to our work
and our workflow. Students in every long-term
program classroom (25+ contact hours), and many short-
term programs, gain hands-on, real-world experience with
Adobe programs. We use them daily, which has allowed
youth to gain important media productions exposure.
The in-kind donation of licenses has played a critical role in our virtual programming during the
Covid-19 pandemic, allowing us to allocate our resources to remain nimble and loan out laptops with the
Adobe suite installed to high school and apprentices, so they can continue their work and media campaigns
without interruption and develop new projects and partnerships. Thanks to Adobe's in-kind licenses, we had
the resources for youth to plan a Virtual Prom (attended by
almost 200 youth and community members). In addition,
Design students were able to partner with Baltimore City's
Joint Information Center to create a public health campaign
directed at youth to encourage social distancing.
