Program that encourages young people to document their lives through the use of audio equipment. This organization produced Youth Portraits, audio documentaries of young people who served time in Rikers Island Correctional Facility. Also produced the Peabody award-winning Ghetto Life 101, audio diaries of two teenagers on Chicago's South Side; this project also spawned a book and second audio documentary. Study guide on Ghetto 101 available for use by teachers and older students. Website also contains tips for those who wish to make their own audio documentaries. Excellent resource.
