Our Access to Mentorship Program (AMP) students from Central Park East High School recently experienced an awe-inspiring visit to the ESPN office at South Street Seaport in NYC! During their time at the multimedia sports entertainment company students had the extraordinary opportunity to learn directly from ESPN’s industry experts, tour their studios, and gain an insider's perspective into the dynamic world of sports media. They also had a behind-the scenes and first-hand look at the intricacies of lighting, framing, and storytelling while receiving invaluable insights into potential future career opportunities. This field trip was the perfect match for one of our students who had already enrolled in a film course coming up this summer, bringing him one step closer to achieving his future goal! We extend our deepest gratitude to the ESPN team for their remarkable generosity and unwavering support in shaping the dreams of our students. About the Young Audiences New York AMP Spring 2024 Program:? This spring, students from Central Park East High School are immersing themselves in the art of digital photography under the guidance of YANY Teaching Artist Brennan Cavanaugh. Through 25 engaging sessions, students will delve into the history and application of photography, participate in peer critique sessions, and develop their own individualized portfolio. As they explore their passion for photography, each student will craft a unique artist statement to accompany their work, fostering creativity and self-expression.?
