4Korners
CDAH in the Regions partnered with 4Korners’ Youth Mental Health program to bring a 4 week after-school filmmaking workshop to Rosemere High School. Students learned about writing, production and editing over the series, and walked away with the knowledge of a career path and/or creative avenue they could continue to explore. 4Korners continued its partnership with CDAH by engaging in a second 4-week program in January 2025 with a new cohort of student participants.
