I. Community Partners
Over fifteen community partners participated in the Film Festival and Community Service Expo. These organizations and service agencies were profiled in the student films as resources. All of the partner organizations also set up information tables at the Expo next to the booth of the student film creator so that interested students and community members could learn more about how to get involved.
The partner organizations and service agencies included:
Caring for Kids
