Dear Youth,
My name is Hailey Hao, the Educational Access Coordinator at MATV. I oversee the operation of the Educational Channel and all the youth programs at MATV.
Youth are a very important part of MATV! Through our in-house and outreach programs, you can learn to use digital media to tell stories and to communicate about the things you care about. MATV is your place to be creative, to find your passion and to express yourself. It’s my honor to be here to help you and to be a part of your exciting journey!
In order to take any class at MATV, you must become a member first. Annual youth membership fee is $10 per year. Youth members have access to our video cameras and digital studio complete with graphics system, full lighting, audio board, and set props; as well as our post-production studio including editing software Final Cut Pro, Photoshop, After Effects, GarageBand and more. You can download the the class schedule on the right and sign up for a classs by submitting the Youth Class Registration below.
We encourage youth to volunteer or intern at MATV. We believe hands-on experience inspires learning and makes one better prepared for their future. Application forms are available for download on the right.
We also welcome high school students to apply to be a guest youth teacher at MATV. If you have media related skills that you would like to teach at MATV, please email me your class proposal, available for download on the right.
If you have any questions, feel free to contact me by emailing at hailey@matv.org or to call at 781-321-6400. We look forward to getting to know you and working with you!
Sincerely,
Hailey
