Level Up Film Club

Using media to inspire a growth mindset

We are excited to announce that as a part of the Youth Enrichment Partnership, we are launching a film club for students to explore themes of self-discovery, personal growth, and overcoming challenges, through film discussions throughout the year. Using entertainment to discuss challenging topics creates a safe and open environment for students to share their emotions and their own experiences in the context of someone else’s story. As this school year is full of new challenges, we believe that the Level Up Film Club will meet students’ needs for engaging activities while also bringing them the education and discussions they need to manage their media use and to mindfully reflect on their thoughts and emotions.
