Media & Filming Requests

OYC Miami welcomes opportunities to share the stories of the youth, families, and communities we serve. Thoughtful media coverage helps shine a light on the transformative programs taking place every day and the impact being made across our Pillars of Impact.

Because OYC Miami serves young people and families, all media, filming, photography, and interview requests must go through a formal review process to ensure the privacy, safety, and dignity of our participants remain protected.

Journalists, production teams, documentary crews, content creators, and students interested in covering OYC Miami are required to submit a Media Request Form prior to scheduling any visit, interview, or filming activity.
