Multimedia Technology Programs

Our vision is to establish vocational training workshops and programs  through our  community based educational facility for all ages. One workshop in particular we are proud of is the Operation C.R.E.W. [Community Redevelopment Employment Workshop] a vocational training program designed to provide life long self-sufficiency skills and motivation necessary to successfully compete in the world of multimedia with today's sophisticated technology. We are proud to introduce to our youth and young adults the trend for the future. Our emphasis will be on offering skills to our urban inner city community residences (ages 16 to 25 yrs. old) training courses that will be focused on audio, video and film technology as well as the development of talent through our Performing Arts workshops for the stage and television programming. Through collaboration with other organization, agenicies, and businesses; we will also offer an apprentic training program that will prepare on for entry into the journeymen field of the building (Prop Making) construction work force.

Operation C.R.E.W. will be administrated and instructed with a  well qualified staff of technician specialist. Professional in their own field of expertise and technology. Our intent is to create a major craft work force facility that can contribute back to their own community; as well as the industry on a local, national, and global level. While building a new mind set for community, family, and self preservantion. Creating a more positive concern for Social, Economical, and ethical community welfare in the inner city communities. Our Children can rise up from the ashes, and..."The Dream Is Worth The Climb!"

"Video One" is a amateur audio/video production workshop designed forschool aged youth [12 yrs. and under]. This workshop is offered as an "After School Program", a spin-off version of a more intense multimedia technology training program desined for teens and young adults.

It is YANAC's intent to introduce 21st century technology and it's various techniques, which we believe will bring encouragement to youth. Creating an atmosphere and providing an opportunity to expose the youth to potential careers. To create a new mind set and awareness, affording our children the privilege to learn and develop technical skills and in the field of mulitmedia technology. This type of "After School Program Workshop" will empower them with the confidence, self-esteem and the ability to move this generation into a high technology work force and job market. By broading their horizon and wetting the appetites to charge the thought process. Through providing hands-On training, students will develop skills and acquaint themselves with the tools of the future; allowing the opportunity to achieve employment in the position of Communications (NASA), Publishers, Directors (television programming), Motion Pictures (movies, Documentaries, Educational, etc.), Radio (engineering), Marketing, Advertisement and Development.
