POV 3rd Street is an organization that helps marginalized youth break into the media industry through training, mentorship, job placement and professional development opportunities.
We’ve been big supporters of theirs since we first launched AstroLab, sponsoring with access to our facilities and gear, and providing hands-on training and mentorship.ย
Last month we had the honour of hosting not only POV, but also Cee Toronto, XoTO, Ontario DGC, United Way GTA and Mayor John Tory (along with every media outlet in the city) for the announcement of an all-new program aimed at training more Production Assistants and finding young people opportunities to break into the industry as PAs.ย
It was an exciting day here at The Lab!
