Since opening our doors in 2012, SPOT 127 has served more than 850 students in our afterschool, in-school and summer programs. After completing a semester at SPOT127, students report an increase in their journalism, audio and video production skills (an average of more than 3 points on a 10-point scale). Students describe our program as a "welcoming environment to learn digital media and leadership skills." Additionally, it’s a fun place to make friends, get out of their comfort zone and get creative!
