Outside the Lens (OTL) empowers youth to use photography, filmmaking, and digital media to create change within themselves, their community and the world. OTL is dedicated to a future where all youth will have the access to and education necessary to understand, evaluate and, most importantly, create media.

Digital media is the new language of learning and is a fundamental skill needed for achieving success in the 21st Century.
