Empowering Young Voices Through Creativity | oob Youth Initiative
Today’s Gen Z has unprecedented access to powerful music and video production software, with AI enabling them to bring nearly any idea to life. This technology isn’t just on the horizon—it’s already here. At oobCREATIVE, we believe that with the power of media comes great responsibility. Our oobYOUTH initiative is designed to educate and inspire youth by positioning them as media producers for responsible Community Leaders and Influencers who need innovative media, design, or communication solutions. We help them harness their tech-savvy skills to make a meaningful impact.
By using media arts, we empower young people with the tools to express themselves, develop critical thinking skills, and engage meaningfully with their communities.
