A Farewell to OLLIE

MetroEast Community Media and Portland Community Media have been proud to bring OLLIE to youth in Multnomah County for the past five years. During this time, more than 1,500 individual youths from over 100 schools and community groups were served by OLLIE.

Alas, it is time to say goodbye to OLLIE. In these troubled economic times, both MetroEast and PCM are looking for ways to use our resources to maximum efficiency. We remain committed to youth media, and will continue to bring resources and media education to young people.

We hope you enjoy viewing the over 300 videos produced by young people who participated in OLLIE. They screened on our community access television channels from 2004 to 2009 and have been viewed (at last count) more than 25,000 times on the OLLIE website. Thank you to all who have participated or been a part of OLLIE. It remains a very special place in youth media education.

If you have questions about future opportunities for youth media programs, please contact Jennifer Dynes at MetroEast Community Media jennifer@metroeast.org  (503) 667-8848 or  Dennis Donin at Portland Community Media dennis@pcmtv.org
