Youth from the ages of 14-18 can qualify for six to twelve week courses in film, TV, and computer animation. Classes have limited spaces available and enrollment will be decided on a first come first serve basis.
All students who complete the entire program will receive a Certificate of Completion Award. Completion of the program requires that each student attend every class and finish all assignments. Any student who is unable to complete a class and wishes to receive a certificate must make-up the missed class and assignments at a later date.
What We Do. The New Hope Foundation Film & Art Institute is a non-profit 501(c)3 "mobile" educational program that has the unique approach of actually bringing the school to the youth who, due to a lack of financing and or resources, would otherwise not have the chance to experience the Hollywood dream. The New Hope Foundation Film & Art Institute will bring a team of instructors and equipment, including guest industry professionals, on location to youth in their own community to offer classes, free of charge, with industry standard equipment and state of the art technique. This method of on location teaching will allow the youth to express themselves more naturally and develop the ability to use their creativity in a way that can benefit the community in which they live.
The goal of the New Hope Foundation Film & Art Institute is to provide youth in the communities with the tools and knowledge that can enhance their creative abilities through six week introductory courses on film introduction, photography and computer animation depending on the interest of the student. In addition, as the students qualify, a twelve week continued education will be offered, as well as the opportunity to travel with the school to other areas and use what they learned to help teach others. The classes will then encourage the youth to use their creativity in a manner that can strengthen relationships and contribute to the well being of the community and give them a new career opportunity. This innovative approach of bringing the school on location will give the communities a creative outlet for the youth to use that can continue to work and grow even after having moved on to another neighborhood.
Professional Instructors. With state of the art equipment and qualified instructors the students will learn the same techniques used in professional media.By going on location for filming projects, students will get hands-on film-making experience that main stream multimedia companies use.
Future Opportunities. Students who qualify will be invited to go on location with the team to events and get the chance to help and gain experience in real multimedia jobs.
Internships with Major Companies. Through New Hope Foundation Film & Art Institute, as students qualify, internships with major TV and film studios will be available.

You Should Be a Harvard Student
Introducing the HBS 2+2 Program.
Now accepting applications from college juniors. As a friend of the Harvard Business School community, we are excited to share with you the launch of an innovative new program: HBS 2+2.
The HBS 2+2 Program targets talented college students who traditionally would not consider business education. The program accepts applications from college juniors for deferred admission to Harvard Business School. HBS 2+2 is positioned as a four-year experience comprising two years of work after the completion of an undergraduate degree followed by two years of immersion in our MBA Program.
Once students are admitted to HBS 2+2, they become connected to the HBS community and enjoy a range of program-specific benefits.
These benefits include dedicated career coaching and self-assessment, access to select recruiting partners, and two on-campus summer programs (after graduation and between the first and second year of work).
To learn more about the program, visit the 2+2 Program Website www.hbs.edu/mba/2%2b2/.
Additionally, we welcome you to download the HBS 2+2 Program brochure www.hbs.edu/mba/2+2/brochure.pdf .
Please feel free to contact us with any questions at
2plus2@hbs.edu.

Spend $125 Million
Consolidated planning is your opportunity to tell the City of Los Angeles how to spend more than $125 million.
Did you know these funds are used to finance:
* Training for start-ups and small businesses
* Construction of day-care centers
* After-school programs for the children of low- and moderate-income working parents
* Hot meals and health screening for elderly and disabled citizens
* Construction or expansion of community centers and health service facilities
* Street lighting and sidewalk repair
Now is your chance to say how $125 million in Housing and Urban Development (HUD) funds should be spent for the upcoming year. Come to a meeting in your community to offer your ideas. Funds must be used to primarily benefit low- and moderate-income persons. Your viewpoint is essential to wise use of these funds; we welcome your participation, and your voice will be heard.
Residents are invited to attend one of six community meetings throughout the city of Los Angeles to provide input on priorities for expenditure of HUD Consolidated Plan
funds over the next five years, and for the upcoming 34th Program Year. The City receives approximately $125 million annually from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for new housing construction and rehabilitation of existing housing, public services, programs for the homeless and those living with HIV/AIDS; community facilities; and economic development. Activities funded through the CDBG program must primarily benefit low- and moderate-income people, eliminate blight, or generate jobs.
Meetings are scheduled at the following locations. All sites are disabled accessible, and Spanish-speaking translators are available.
Please contact the CDD Grants Section at (213) 744-9021 if you need additional information about these meetings or directions. For those that cannot attend but still wish to participate, comments or suggestions may be sent to:
City of Los Angeles
