AMP: Artists' Meeting Place and Resource Collective

Inside Out Community Arts is a nationally award-winning non-profit arts
education organization founded in 1997, which founded a social enterprise
program called Teen Media Initiative (TMI) in 2009 which trains and employs “Teen Techies” in web-based skills,
specifically website and blog creation from templates, and using social media
and networking sites for professional purposes.  The Teen Techies also learn customer service and market their skills in
order to secure paying adult clients who need their services to “get
connected”.  TMI’s clients have included
small business owners, private practitioners, leaders of organizations,
teachers and artists.  In addition to
teaching web-based technical skills and hiring Teen Techies, TMI also teaches
its participants about entrepreneurship, customer service, financial literacy,
community building, leadership and philanthropy.
