Welcome to the Rural Oregon Gallery!
The Oregon Consortium & Oregon Workforce Alliance Emerging Worker Committee with funding from the American Recovery & Reinvestment Act is helping to create the next generation of media specialists in Rural Oregon. Five youth media teams have been deployed and by working with community and educational partners, these young producers will be developing the tools they need to understand their world by asking questions and getting answers.
The Rural Youth Media Project will be populating information into the Rural Gallery on a continuous basis – we encourage you to check back frequently for new information and to get to know the members of our production teams.
