Amplify Youth Video Voices Lab

🎬 Amplify Youth — Video Voices Lab

Amplify Youth is a youth media program where young people create short videos about growing up. This hands-on workshop supports autistic and neurodivergent young people (ages 14–25) to share their stories, build confidence, and learn real digital media skills in a supportive, inclusive environment.

Funded by Queensland Youth Week, this session is part of a wider program running across April 2026, leading to a community screening and a final showcase of participant work.
