Multimedia Center
The goal of the planned Casa Libre Multimedia Center is to provide homeless and at risk children living at Casa Libre and homeless children residing at other local shelters opportunities to study and learn multimedia skills including music, film, and photography, and to find avenues for these children for artistic self-expression.
Until the site has been renovated, a preliminary multi-media program has been established and is implemented in the Casa Libre main house. The program currently has new computers and music and recording equipment available for participants to use.
Staff and volunteers will teach program participants skills in computer technology, musical instruments, photography, etc.
The objectives of the planned Casa Libre Multimedia Center are:
- To provide homeless and at-risk children and youth with opportunities for self-expression through the arts;
- To provide homeless and at-risk children and youth with incentives to continue their education in the arts and related subjects;
- To provide tutoring and training in the areas of music, film, and photography for homeless and at-risk children in order to prepare them for possible internships or employment in these or related areas of work.
