TWIN CITIES YOUTH MEDIA NETWORK is a collaboration of youth media organizations in Minneapolis and St. Paul. The work of our members is diverse and varies with each organization. Here you'll find information and resources for youth producers and their families, media educators, and community members, along with youth-produced media. To find out more about TCYMN, read about our history, check out our FAQs, or contact us with any questions.

Each spring, as part of our mission to empower youth media producers and educators, TCYMN sponsors a Youth Media Summit where youth media producers from across the Twin Cities meet each other, learn more about media, and create original films in randomly selected teams. During the course of one day, youth at the Summit are put into groups, assigned a genre (such as documentary, narrative, or experimental), given a prop, and challenged to work together to create an original film from start to finish.

The 2010 TCYMN Youth Media Summit is scheduled to take place on May 16th at the Central Library in Minneapolis. If you'd like to get involved, make a donation to help the Summit take place, or register a youth for the event, please use our contact form.

Check out videos and photos from the 2009 TCYMN Youth Media Summit. For more information, watch the 2009 TCYMN Youth Media Summit Documentary, which chronicles the whole process of filmmaking from start to finish.

The TCYMN Youth Media Summit is brought to you with the generous support of: Hennepin County Libraries.
