Outside The Lens is a San Diego–based nonprofit that uses media arts to help young people become storytellers and changemakers. Since 2001, it has served thousands of youth through in-school programs, after-school workshops, and summer camps, teaching digital photography, graphic design, filmmaking, and emerging media while fostering critical thinking, creative expression, and visual literacy. The organization targets K-12 and transitional age students (18–24), aiming to build confidence to pursue creative pathways and contribute to social change through media arts. In addition to its ongoing educational work, Outside The Lens expanded its offerings with new programs such as Media Makers, a digital media arts initiative for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, and continues to engage partners in the community to broaden access to its programs in the San Diego area.
