"This program is about creating access and opening doors," said Tammy Truong, Executive Director of Voices in Motion, Inc. "Young people should have the opportunity to see themselves as creators, storytellers and professionals who can build careers in the entertainment industry."

Program outcomes will be tracked through a data partnership with Block Builders Technologies, using a custom system that measures attendance, pre- and post-program surveys, instructor assessments, reviews and participant feedback.

The initiative is funded through an impact grant approved by Councilmember Edward Burroughs III for District 8. Participants are expected to bring focus, discipline and a strong commitment to the experience; this is not a drop-in program, but one for students prepared to engage fully and treat the opportunity with purpose.

In addition to technical production training, participants will build communication, teamwork and collaboration skills through project-based learning designed to strengthen confidence and career readiness. A private red carpet screening to celebrate student accomplishments with parents, Councilmember Burroughs, and mentors concludes the program.
