The Difference:
Hosted by WOO founder Hal Eisenberg, The Difference is a web series that spotlights what incredible youth are accomplishing every day to make a difference in their community and the world. Young people are featured and interviewed for the advocacy work they do for charities, fundraisers, non-profits, schools, churches and their communities. Youth programs and organizations are also featured, sometimes with guest “youth” hosts.
The Difference will include a “hot topics” round table discussion with young people providing a variety of viewpoints on issues that face their generation. Opportunities behind the camera will become available for youth interested in learning about video production through camerawork, recording sound, lighting, writing, editing and producing.
