Youth Media Development (YMD) is a collaborative initiative of the Independent Living Program (ILP) of Erie County. The goal of YMD is to showcase the voices of young individuals in our community, empowering them with both soft and hard skills essential for career development.
YMD partners with Community Media Access (CAM) to provide opportunities for youth and young adults in the Independent Living Program to learn skills needed to navigate the digital world. This includes skills related to television, social media, photography, podcasts, e-sports, and more.
