First Interviews

Yesterday, Henry and I went back to the Club to interview the teens on videotape.  We are trying to get a baseline snapshot of where they are today in terms of their communication and media skills and use of technology, the quality of their relationships to their community, family and self and their school and career goals.  We believe this project will positively impact all of these areas.  By interviewing them at the end of the project and asking them the same questions, we can learn from the teens’ own words, how their perceptions, knowledge, goals and skills have changed.  I was impressed by their understanding of community, their desire to make the world a better place and their deep appreciation of our relationship with them.
