A memorable weekend retreat...

Bridgewater, NJ -- We're rarely surprised but always pleased to cross paths with youth and help them uncover their hidden skills and talents. The same held true yet again during our Weekend Retreat in Bridgewater, New Jersey with a group of phenomenal young men (ages 18-21).

What is typically taught over a series of 5 sessions was condensed into an intensive training which spawned creativity and split-second decision making. After learning the basics of film production, the group worked collaboratively to develop a concept for their own original project, storyboard, shoot, act in all of the roles, and lay down a few tracks for post-production.

Special thanks to our awesome crew, guest facilitators, and volunteers from Comcast and The Princeton Theological Seminary.

Beyond Expectations gearing up for Weekend Retreat (Oct 18 - 20)

In addition to our 5-session media production programs, Beyond Expectations also offers intensive one-day 'speedcrewing' workshops and weekend retreats for organizations interested in youth programs within a condensed timeframe.

We're gearing up for our next retreat at a transitional living home in Central New Jersey for older youth ages 18-21. Looking forward to helping another group of young people bring their visions to life...

Students develop concept for PSA

Summer Program students developed the concept and content for an original Public Service Announcement (PSA) to showcase the collaboration between Beyond Expectations and The First Tee of Greater Trenton.

Special thanks to one of our awesome facilitators and professional voice artist George Washington III who provided his impeccable voice to bring their words to life.

Beyond Expectations student Chental Bembry also had a chance to capture a brief interview with teen golfer, Ciana Montero.
