“Tribeca Teaches gave a voice to children that normally have trouble finding their voices – it gave them an opportunity to be a part of something and participate in something they could be proud of.” Jackie King, Principal, Bronx Prep
Tribeca Teaches is a program developed by the Tribeca Film Institute to bring the art of filmmaking into the classroom and enrich the educational experiences of students at schools in outlying communities. Since its launch in 2007, Tribeca Teaches has served hundreds of students through in-school and after-school, hands-on youth media programming.
