Welcome To Intersections Media
Intersections
Media Opportunities for
Youth Society
(“Intersections)” is a non-profit charitable organization founded by the
late William
Vince
(“Bill”), an Oscar-nominated Vancouver filmmaker and advocate for youth
at risk. Our
program offers an employability and life
skills workshop
and work experience opportunity to youth facing multiple
barriers to
employment. Bill’s life is our ongoing inspiration and our programming
is his
legacy.
Through
the unique and
familiar medium of art and digital filmmaking as well as involvement
in group-based
projects, Intersections participants gain the experience and
confidence for
long-term attachment to the workforce. Bill believed in the potential of
youth
and the power of
helping others help themselves.
