Supporting Non-Profit Org.'s & How You can Help

My first production job that was offered to me was when I was a Junior at Foothill Technology High School in 2005. One of my teachers suggested I join the Associated Student Body (ASB) in my Senior Year. I became the Assistant Tech. Director involved with web-design, video-production and more for not only the ASB class but for the whole high-school. Directly across the street from the school was Ventura's Public Access Station "Community Access Partners of San Buenaventura" (CAPS-TV) and they had requested a couple students help in filming High-School & College Graduation Ceremonies. They assigned me to Camera 2 and put me on a headset so I could receive direction from the Technical Director (TD). It was one of the most thrilling experiences in my life and instantly I became addicted to anything that had to do with a camera or production. During my senior year we were tasked to volunteer 30 hours with a local non-profit and that was when I approached CAPS and told them of our project. They agreed to let me volunteer and I have been involved with them since.  Working with CAPS it became clear to me how vital it is to have these NPO's in the community. Now that I am operating a business and making profit I want to make sure I can continue to support all non-profits and that is where you can join me in helping!

Our latest work was with the Local Boys and Girls Club of Greater Ventura. They were applying for a $10,000 grant from the Helpful Honda dealers, and needed to submit a video to explain why they needed the grant money so they could begin building a teen center for the youth of Oak View, California. We showed up shot this video and turned it around within a day so the deadline could be met. A couple weeks ago we were informed the video won the grant money and they are now on their way to beginning the construction!
