THE mission The leadership team
To help young people tell their stories
and discover their gifts and strengths
through the art of filmmaking.
THE vision
To see the world’s youth find, embrace
and offer their unique gifts to influence
and enrich their cultures.
The Inside|Out Global team has had
many contacts from people interested in
bringing Inside|Out to their area.
We’re in touch with churches, a ministry
to former child soldiers in the Congo, a
school for the deaf in Jamaica, the Victoria
Federation for the Deaf in Melbourne,
Australia, and the department of police in
a suburb of Melbourne.
The opportunities are exciting!
“It was amazing to see how I could take
the skills I have at working with video and
use them to really make a difference in
someone’s life. In the week that I had to
interact with the kids I saw Christ bring
healing to deeply emotional issues. I never
would have imagined that I could have
such a huge impact on a person’s life in
such a short period of time.”
