The Youth Documentary Academy (YDA) prepares a new generation of underrepresented storytellers and helps them locate and amplify their voices through the art of documentary film. Through instruction, production, and distribution, YDA helps young people transpose their own stories into broadly accessible and impactful media, opening the door to courageous conversations. More about us.
We need programs like the Youth Documentary Academy to help harness the talent of our young people and to provide them with hope. That they are driven to tell stories from their own communities and develop a craft to do so is a real gift to all of us.
David Dahlin, Former President, Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center
