Our Mission

Pay It Forward Media, Media that Matters, trains and mentors Opportunity Youth (ages 16-24) and IWDs (Individuals with Disabilities) in paid STEAM media internships, using journalism and media production as the foundation for lifelong career pathways.

Our Vision

Every opportunity youth/young adult (ages 16-24) who completes a Pay It Forward Media STEAM Media Paid Internship program will have the chance to become a mentor to their own peers, paying it forward, all while finishing high school. Over time, our graduates will mentor/train the next group and help run Pay It Forward Media's internships themselves.

“Pay It Forward Media, Media that Matters, wants to provide Opportunity Youth Adults of Today with Brighter Futures for Tomorrow.”
