It's a wrap!

We closed down the summer with a phenomenal group of students from Trenton, Princeton, and Willingboro High School Making Visions Possible program who participated in our Sports Media Program.

With the engaging hands-on instruction of Executive Producer Leontyne Anglin, the students worked together to develop original show ideas, conducted interviews with the special guests, created a production schedule, and taped 3 LIVE segments in the studio!

All students received certificates and their own personal autographed photo of Former Philadelphia Eagle Reggie "Truck" Brown.

Thanks to MVP Program Director Greg Smith, Guest Facilitators Olena Feltes, Reggie Brown, and Princeton Community Television for providing the great venue.

More accolades for our former student and media intern Chental Bembry

Heartfelt congratulations to Chental for her continued and well-deserved accolades. In addition to her recognition earlier this year at the BET Honors, she has also been recognized as a Making a Difference M.A.D. Girl Honoree.

Better yet, she was invited on stage with two other phenomenal young honorees who were all hailed as stellar examples of achievement in education by our First Lady Michelle Obama.

Beyond Expectations student goes behind the scenes with Community Organizers from across the country!

Beyond Expectations student Robert McGill was invited to work as part of the professional production crew with Ms. Leontyne Anglin for a multi-city event which brought together leaders and youth from Trenton, Camden, Philadelphia, and Ferguson, MO to discuss civics, policy, and the basics of community organizing.

Attendees included representatives from organizations across the country -- including the White House.

Robert did a great job as a 2nd Camera Operator and Production Assistant. It was an exciting chance for him to gain real life experience at a large scale event. And ... since successfully completing our TV Studio Production class, Robert has been hired by a national movie theatre!

Another awesome service project for Comcast Cares Day!

Wow!! We had such an awesome time with all of the wonderful Comcast NBCUniversal volunteers, their families, our students, and crew.

This year, we organized a beautification and upgrade project at The Conservatory Mansion located in downtown Trenton, NJ. It's the original historic Trenton Conservatory of Music founded in 1920 by Julliard professor William O'Toole and now serves as a venue for youth and families to learn music, arts, media, and more.

It's also the Mercer County location for Beyond Expectations where we provide youth with marketable life skills through media education and service leadership.

In addition to creating a lovely new landscape design to improve the curb appeal, volunteers painted each of the artist studios, built brand new computer desks from scratch ... and installed them in our Media Room!

A few of our phenomenal students volunteered on projects and served as Event Correspondents interviewing participants, taking photos, and capturing footage from the day.

How wonderful for us to witness for another year community, families, and local organizations working side by side to make change happen.
