Smartphone Storytelling for Non-Profits
Do you work with a nonprofit that has something to say? Gain the skills to use your smartphone to capture the story and impact of your nonprofit’s work in the community! Most of us carry an entire production studio in our pockets and don’t even realize it.
We’ve developed a program that will help you join our network of community reporters and start sharing the stories of your community.
The class includes four, one-hour sessions at $150 per registrant.
August 6 – 15 | Tuesday & Thursday Afternoons from 2:00 – 3:00 p.m.
