Updates for the 2017-2018 School Year

Dear Volunteers,

As you are now likely aware, both Minds in Motion and See Hear Feel Film will undergo a transition during the coming school year as the JBFC provides educators with professional development on our Image, Sound, and Story media literacy curriculum. 

Once we have a firm idea of what these transitional field trips to the Media Arts Lab will look like, we will contact you via email regarding our volunteer needs, dates, and logistics. 

If you have any questions, concerns, or suggestions in the meantime, please contact our Volunteer Coordinator, Imani Humphries, at [email protected].
