Video Services

The Video Services division of CTVN is a social enterprise! We produce videos for clients while creating the social impact of freelance employment and on-the-job training for a select group of youth. Each job is supervised by a professional video producer, who as a mentor provides one-on-one support and advice for youth interested in exploring a future in media. Video Services is now 25 years old and has completed over 600 video jobs that range from ½ day shoots to fully edited ½ hour productions. Our clients this year include: Alternative Schools Network, The Chicago Community Trust, Knowledge Delivery Systems, Market Motive, Sparque Inc. and the Youth Connection Charter School. Seven of our youth had the opportunity to work on these productions. We look forward to broadening the participation of youth in our productions and contributing to their wellbeing in the world by building trust, promoting the role models approach to advocacy, and offering self-sustainability options to underrepresented communities through media.
