for strategic planning
Bay Area Video Coalition’s mission is to bring increased cultural and economic participation to underserved communities through media. Providing industry-standard media training to more than 3,000 students and professionals each year, the organization also offers production and post-production and preservation services, and workforce development programs for low-income youth. The Coalition made a foray into public media in 2009 when it assumed operations of the San Francisco’s Cable Access television station, and runs an annual ten-day intensive Producer’s Institute for New Media Technologies to help artists develop socially relevant media applications. With dynamic new leadership, the organization is poised for a strategic refresh and renewed focus on mission.
