Media Matters

Media Matters is committed to helping at-risk youth acquire technological competencies—and also to fostering the critical thinking and interpersonal skills that support healthy decision-making.  The projects they undertake challenge them to create powerful pro-social messages that increase community awareness of important issues.
 

Public Service Announcement (PSA)

All these PSAs were created and produced by JFS for safeandrespectful.org with funding support from the Delaware Coalition Against Domestic Violence.
