Zero to YouTube Hero!

On May 31st, IMPACT Industry Partner Heather Ramirez of Sharespark Media hosted a "Zero to YouTube Hero" community outreach workshop for Coachella Valley residents of all ages who are interested in sharing their stories via YouTube. Zero to YouTube Hero seeks to help people creating thriving channels, even if they've never uploaded or made a video before. 

Attendees ranged in age from 7 to 77, and all had different concepts for their potential channels. The workshop focused on the essential questions to ask when starting a channel as well as many of the under-appreciated benefits that come from YouTube (critical thinking, communication, collaboration, technical skills, etc.).

The workshop also highlighted and showcased the IMPACT pathway as well as several IMPACT student YouTube channels.
