WHAT WE DO
CULTIVATING YOUTH
ALUMNI MENTORS:
SPOTLIGHT ON
ROCIO ROMAN
As an aspiring instrumentalist and
songwriter, Rocio Roman was looking to
learn about composing and producing
music, so she signed up for a Street-Level
workshop at Roberto Clemente High in
2010. She grew both technically and
artistically, and with the support of the
program, was exposed to advanced
production techniques, various digital
audio workstations, and music theory.
After graduation, she expanded hermusic
production skills at Street-Level to
include audio engineering, recording and
mixing final projects that helped her
express herself. Her steady growth,
maturity and artistic development made
Rocio a clear choice to be one of
Street-Level’s first Audio Engineering
Interns, and as such she will be
responsible for providing engineering
services and mentorship to other Chicago
youth. At the end of 2012, Rocio was
accepted in the Art Institute Chicago‘s
audio engineering program.
REALITY,
RULES,
REBELLION:
SAAP 2012
The 2012 theme of the Summer Arts Apprenticeship
Program (SAAP) was “Reality, Rules, Rebellion” resulted
in 15 individual and collaborative works that included
topics such as coping with school regulations;
youth-driven fashion and music subcultures; evaluations
of mass media news; the lack of public participation in
our perceptions of important civic issues; and how
controversial cultural trends are also personal statements
(such as tattoos and environmentalism). The showcase
included the transformation of one of our instructional
spaces into a teenager’s bedroom. It addressed two
issues: fighting for educational opportunities for ill and
sick youth, and how one’s own bedroom is a critical
bastion for self-expression. Picture below, Deanna
Robinson in the females in hip-hop exhibition space.
YOUTH DRIVEN
PROGRAMS
ARE ON THE RISE
Q: How do successful youth-driven programs come about?
A: Here at Street-Level, students go through programs we already
have in place —in some cases ALL of the programs— and they take
what they have learned and simply apply initiative to build
something based on their interest. Currently, that’s Anime Club
and Game Club. Anime Club came first.
Q: How and when did Anime Club start?
A: In 2011, student Tamairis Dixon attended Anime Central for the
first time with one of our media instructors. Once we moved to
our Ashland Avenue location later that year, he met more kids
with an interest in anime. It started very small with maybe five or
six youth. Now, on a full day there are around 17 kids. For some, it
was their first interaction with Street-Level. In 2012 the official
Anime Club began developing a logo, started a podcast series and
began documenting conventions.
Q: And this opened the door to other clubs forming?
A: Over the years, students ask about Street-Level hosting
different types of programs or speakers, and we look into it as
time and resources allow. What’s great is when the youth take the
active leadership role in making it happen. The idea for Game Club
was seeded in 2012. It launched with the idea of having a
Gamefest, a tournament competition for prizes. Then kids just
started bringing their systems in over the wintertime to share
games and hang out. In the future we expect great things,
bringing in local developers or game celebrities.
Q: Can you talk about the roles of the mentor and the
organization in youth-driven programs or clubs?
A: Primarily, it’s to give the youth freedom to discuss things that
are important to them. As an instructor, I step back and allow
ideas to flow, offering guidance, but letting the kids know that the
decisions are ultimately theirs to make. Providing space and
access to technology, and bringing in mentors or people who are
established in their field to help guide or verify or share
knowledge is important. And of course, a welcoming and
accepting environment is key to building a community. The
positive energy is what keeps people coming.

SUPPORTERS
STREET-LEVEL IS GRATEFUL FOR OUR MANY SUPPORTERS,
WITHOUT WHOM NONE OF THIS WOULD BE POSSIBLE
Our current mission statement reads
"Street-Level Youth Media educates Chicago's
urban youth in the media arts and emerging
technologies for self-expression, communication,
and social change”. We do this so young people
have the confidence and skills to imagine better
futures for themselves, and create the world they
want to live in.
Street-Level embraces all youth. We want all
youth to reach their fullest potential. Regardless
of where they come from and where they start,
we meet them where they're at. Youth often say
Street-Level is like a home to them, and they
genuinely feel cared for by the adults here,
accepted by their peers. In our programs and
center, this sense of physical, social, and
WHY WE DO IT
a letter by
Executive Director
Manwah Lee
psychological safety creates an environment
where youth can freely express themselves,
develop their voice and identities, and form
healthy relationships with other peers and
adults.
We encourage youth to explore their
interests, take creative risks, learn new
things, and learn to learn--perhaps the most
important skill we can give them. Sometimes
they get to experience new things like plane
rides and trips to DC, but in this highly
segregated city, it's equally eye-opening for
many to just come across town, visit
downtown museums through our programs,
and make connections to people outside of
their neighborhoods.
This is also connected to how we build
community with youth, cultivate their sense
of belonging and their civic identities. When
they feel they are part of something, they
want to contribute to it. We see this for
example when youth become peer mentors,
or take the initiative to launch their own club
at Street-Level. And I've been so thrilled
over the years when different youth have
expressed to me that they want to work at
Street-Level.
Finally, media and technology are integral to
everyday life. This will only become more so
in the future. So, what chance will youth
who do not have access to technology
resources have? And even when they do
have this access, do we want them to only
use it as an entertainment pastime? At
Street-Level, we show them much more.
They learn to use various media software
and equipment to produce original videos,
music tracks, graphic design, or photography
work, picking up lots of tech-saavy and
practical skills that will be transferrable to
different jobs and related career tracks. But,
they're also learning in process how to use
media, art, and technology to develop
their voice, produce content that reflects
their perspectives and interests. By
sharing their message with others, they
are influencing people and the world
around them.

  • 2. CULTIVATING YOUTH ALUMNI MENTORS: SPOTLIGHT ON ROCIO ROMAN As an aspiring instrumentalist and songwriter, Rocio Roman was looking to learn about composing and producing music, so she signed up for a Street-Level workshop at Roberto Clemente High in 2010. She grew both technically and artistically, and with the support of the program, was exposed to advanced production techniques, various digital audio workstations, and music theory. After graduation, she expanded hermusic production skills at Street-Level to include audio engineering, recording and mixing final projects that helped her express herself. Her steady growth, maturity and artistic development made Rocio a clear choice to be one of Street-Level’s first Audio Engineering Interns, and as such she will be responsible for providing engineering services and mentorship to other Chicago youth. At the end of 2012, Rocio was accepted in the Art Institute Chicago‘s audio engineering program. REALITY, RULES, REBELLION: SAAP 2012 The 2012 theme of the Summer Arts Apprenticeship Program (SAAP) was “Reality, Rules, Rebellion” resulted in 15 individual and collaborative works that included topics such as coping with school regulations; youth-driven fashion and music subcultures; evaluations of mass media news; the lack of public participation in our perceptions of important civic issues; and how controversial cultural trends are also personal statements (such as tattoos and environmentalism). The showcase included the transformation of one of our instructional spaces into a teenager’s bedroom. It addressed two issues: fighting for educational opportunities for ill and sick youth, and how one’s own bedroom is a critical bastion for self-expression.

  • 3. YOUTH DRIVEN PROGRAMS ARE ON THE RISE Q: How do successful youth-driven programs come about? A: Here at Street-Level, students go through programs we already have in place —in some cases ALL of the programs— and they take what they have learned and simply apply initiative to build something based on their interest. Currently, that’s Anime Club and Game Club. Anime Club came first. Q: How and when did Anime Club start? A: In 2011, student Tamairis Dixon attended Anime Central for the first time with one of our media instructors. Once we moved to our Ashland Avenue location later that year, he met more kids with an interest in anime. It started very small with maybe five or six youth. Now, on a full day there are around 17 kids. For some, it was their first interaction with Street-Level. In 2012 the official Anime Club began developing a logo, started a podcast series and began documenting conventions. Q: And this opened the door to other clubs forming? A: Over the years, students ask about Street-Level hosting different types of programs or speakers, and we look into it as time and resources allow. What’s great is when the youth take the active leadership role in making it happen. The idea for Game Club was seeded in 2012. It launched with the idea of having a Gamefest, a tournament competition for prizes. Then kids just started bringing their systems in over the wintertime to share games and hang out. In the future we expect great things, bringing in local developers or game celebrities. Q: Can you talk about the roles of the mentor and the organization in youth-driven programs or clubs? A: Primarily, it’s to give the youth freedom to discuss things that are important to them. As an instructor, I step back and allow ideas to flow, offering guidance, but letting the kids know that the decisions are ultimately theirs to make. Providing space and access to technology, and bringing in mentors or people who are established in their field to help guide or verify or share knowledge is important. And of course, a welcoming and accepting environment is key to building a community. The positive energy is what keeps people coming. an interview with Instructor James Duke

  • 6. Our current mission statement reads "Street-Level Youth Media educates Chicago's urban youth in the media arts and emerging technologies for self-expression, communication, and social change”. We do this so young people have the confidence and skills to imagine better futures for themselves, and create the world they want to live in. Street-Level embraces all youth. We want all youth to reach their fullest potential. Regardless of where they come from and where they start, we meet them where they're at. Youth often say Street-Level is like a home to them, and they genuinely feel cared for by the adults here, accepted by their peers. In our programs and center, this sense of physical, social, and WHY WE DO IT a letter by Executive Director Manwah Lee psychological safety creates an environment where youth can freely express themselves, develop their voice and identities, and form healthy relationships with other peers and adults. We encourage youth to explore their interests, take creative risks, learn new things, and learn to learn--perhaps the most important skill we can give them. Sometimes they get to experience new things like plane rides and trips to DC, but in this highly segregated city, it's equally eye-opening for many to just come across town, visit downtown museums through our programs, and make connections to people outside of their neighborhoods. This is also connected to how we build community with youth, cultivate their sense of belonging and their civic identities. When they feel they are part of something, they want to contribute to it. We see this for example when youth become peer mentors, or take the initiative to launch their own club at Street-Level. And I've been so thrilled over the years when different youth have expressed to me that they want to work at Street-Level. Finally, media and technology are integral to everyday life. This will only become more so in the future. So, what chance will youth who do not have access to technology resources have? And even when they do have this access, do we want them to only use it as an entertainment pastime? At Street-Level, we show them much more. They learn to use various media software and equipment to produce original videos, music tracks, graphic design, or photography work, picking up lots of tech-saavy and practical skills that will be transferrable to different jobs and related career tracks. But, they're also learning in process how to use media, art, and technology to develop their voice, produce content that reflects their perspectives and interests. By sharing their message with others, they are influencing people and the world around them.
