Volunteer

Over 60 volunteers each year provide mentoring, instruction and one-on-one attention that is the hallmark of Reel Works' programs for teens.

Mentor a Teen

Every Reel Works teen is matched one-on-one with a professional filmmaker-mentor - it's a powerful combination that unlocks young talents, unleashes young voices and changes young lives. Learn More.

Teach a Workshop

Our workshops are enhanced throughout the year by professional film & television producers, directors, DP's, editors and craftspeople who teach short workshops in their fields of expertise. Share you knowledge and inspire the next generation. Contact Program Director, Mari Irizarry at mari@reelworks.org or call (718) 768-9000.

Screen Your Movie

Exposing teens to great independent films and giving them a chance to talk to working filmmakers is central to our vision of teaching the art of filmmaking. Screen your work in Reel Works' multimedia screening room and share your filmmaking experience with our young filmmakers. Contact Program Director, Mari Irizarry at mari@reelworks.org or call (718) 768-9000.

Set & Studio Visits
