Get Involved

 

The Youth Documentary Academy relies on funding through sponsorships and donations, and we greatly appreciate your help. Any amount helps us achieve our goals in empowering the voices of youth and bringing amazing films to the world such as those featured in the PBS series, OUR TIME. If you would like to get involved, here’s how!

Stay Informed

Sign up for the YDA newsletter and we will let you know about upcoming events, screenings, updates on our Academy alumni filmmakers, and opportunities to watch OUR TIME across the nation.

About the OUR TIME Series

OUR TIME is produced by the Youth Documentary Academy (YDA) using films directed by students of the Summer film production program. The stories told by our filmmakers offer fresh and unvarnished perspective on universal social issues.

OUR TIME has become a go-to for educators and families, offering thoughtful, powerful youth-generated content with a strong perspective. Rocky Mountain PBS began airing episodes of OUR TIME in October 2019.

Sponsor the Series

To support the local engagement of the series, and to fund additional engagement over 40 national markets, we are seeking sponsorships. With $50, 000 we will be able to engage a national market. Support beyond this goal will allow us to further expand both campaigns and to begin production for OUR TIME Season 2.
