🎥 Media & Storytelling Programs

Media is one of the most powerful tools young people can learn to use responsibly.

At On The Other Side of the Fence, Inc., our media program teaches youth how to tell real stories — about projects, progress, animals, and community — using modern tools with structure, purpose, and accountability.

This work is educational, supervised, and skill-based.

What Youth Learn

Youth involved in media programming gain hands-on experience in:

  • Video and photo capture

  • Basic editing and post-production

  • Story structure and messaging

  • Responsible content creation

  • Team collaboration and planning

  • Digital citizenship and accountability

The focus is not virality — it’s clarity, consistency, and follow-through.

Media With a Purpose

Media projects are tied directly to:

  • mechanical builds and hands-on projects

  • animal rescue and care stories

  • community involvement and events

  • personal growth and skill development

Youth learn that media isn’t about attention — it’s about documenting effort, process, and progress.

Safety, Structure & Oversight

All media activities are:

  • supervised by adults

  • planned in advance

  • reviewed for appropriateness

  • aligned with program goals

Youth do not manage accounts independently and are not pressured to perform or post. Privacy, consent, and safety are always prioritized.

Supporting Rescue & Youth Programs

Media created through our programs helps:

  • share the reality of rescue and recovery

  • highlight youth skill-building in action

  • increase community awareness and support

  • connect sponsors and donors to real outcomes

This content supports the sustainability of our programs while teaching youth practical, transferable skills.

For Supporters & Sponsors

Community support helps provide:

  • cameras and basic media equipment

  • editing software and storage

  • safety and protective gear

  • training resources and supervision

  • platforms to responsibly share program impact

Sponsors support education, not entertainment — and help youth learn how to use media as a tool, not a distraction.

Get Involved

You can support our media programs by:

  • donating toward equipment and supplies

  • sponsoring a media project or series

  • volunteering approved skills or mentorship

  • sharing program content responsibly

Media, when taught well, becomes a skill — not a risk.
