The Bubbler at Madison Public Library’s Media Academy program developed from years of trial and error experiences of working with community partners to better serve some of Madison’s most at-risk youth. Media Academy is an intensive summer experience that empowers youth voices to tackle issues that matter to them in writing, music and beat creation, documentary production, and brand design. In this session, MPL’s Media Instructor Rob Franklin, teen intern James Horton, Jr. and teen librarian Jesse Vieau will share some best practices (and our failures!) in the recruitment of high risk teens, working with a huge variety of community partners, and creating a wide variety of media with intention for capturing teen’s voices, passions, and talents.
