Teen New Media Programs empower teens to develop new technology- and media-based skills such as digital photography, music production, and film working alongside professionals. The programs provide teens with opportunities for creativity, self-expression, and social and emotional development, as well as exploration of career pathways and possibilities for the future. Teens receive compensation for playing active roles in Teen New Media programs and make a positive impact on the community of young people in Boston and beyond. Boston Public School students may also qualify to participate in the BPS Credit-Bearing Initiative. The yearlong film program Fast Forward, a hallmark of ICA Teen Programs for more than 20 years, also takes place in this space.
