Founded in 1999, Spy Hop is a nonprofit youth media arts and education center whose mission is to mentor young people in the digital media arts to help them find their voice, tell their stories, and be empowered to affect positive change in their lives, their communities, and the World. We exist because we believe the next generation has a lot to say. And, we believe that when armed with awareness and knowledge, youth can speak more articulately and with greater impact. Our afterschool and community programs in film, audio, design and music production are a model for youth development programs across the nation and Spy Hop is recognized by the White House as a leading arts and humanities organization.
