Welcome to Creative
Futures Academy's Junior Broadcasters Workshop
At CFA, the heart of the Junior Broadcasters Workshop is giving participants the opportunity to create, produce, and star in their own shows. Youth aged 10+ will gain hands-on experience in video production, live streaming, and digital literacy, while transforming their creative ideas into fully produced shows.
As the program grows, we aim to bring in experts from a wide variety of fields, offering participants not only an engaging learning experience but also the chance to produce shows across a limitless range of trades. Whether it’s gardening, baking, special effects makeup, woodworking, or any other field, the possibilities for show creation are endless.
Why Creative Futures Academy?
Empowering Youth Beyond the Classroom
We believe that too often, children are asked to decide on a career path by the time they graduate high school without having had the chance to explore various interests and trades. At CFA, we expose participants to a wide range of industries through hands-on experience in producing their own shows. Whether it’s creating a cooking show with a professional chef or a building show with master craftsmen, our program allows youth to explore potential career paths while learning the core skills of video production.
​
Participants don’t just learn how to operate cameras, video switchers, and audio equipment—they also get to create, perform, and produce their own unique shows, fostering both creativity and technical skill. Our aim is to provide a fun and engaging environment where children can discover their passions, develop leadership and communication skills, and gain valuable experiences that will guide them in making informed decisions about their futures.
We've worked with the Girl Scouts of central and Southern New Jersey
Here's how it works.
In three steps we'll guide you from the basics of broadcasting to producing your own live show.
STEP ONE
We begin with an engaging introduction to the world of live streaming and video production. Participants will get an overview of the program, understand the journey they're about to embark on and learn what to expect.
STEP TWO
Next participants brainstorm and design their show, leveraging green screen technology for virtual set creation. Hands-On Production Practical training in camera, audio, and switcher operation, coupled with on-screen performance practice. Participants rotate roles for a full production experience.
STEP THREE
Time to go LIVE! This is where their ideas, skills, and creativity come together in a practical setting. They will manage the entire production process, from operating the technical equipment to delivering on-screen performances. This step is the live broadcast of their show, viewable by friends & family. This not only showcases their newly acquired skills but also gives them a sense of accomplishment and a tangible product of their hard work.
My Girl Scout troop attended a workshop that Beyfilmz Media presented and it was awesome. They were so knowledgeable, professional, and patient with all the girls. I was truly impressed and would recommend their services to anyone. Thank you so much for an awesome presentation and I hope you had as much fun as we did!

Our Mission
Our mission is to empower youth from all backgrounds through the Junior Broadcasters Workshop by providing hands-on experience in both the creative and technical aspects of digital media production. While our program is open to all young people, we are particularly focused on providing opportunities to underserved and urban youth. Participants will learn essential broadcasting skills and have the opportunity to create and produce their own shows, guided by our team.
​
A core aspect of our mission is to expose youth to a wide variety of trades and industries to help them make informed decisions about their futures. We recognize that many young people are often forced to decide on career paths at a young age, without having had the opportunity to experience different trades. Through our program, participants will gain real-world exposure to various fields, helping them discover their passions and make better-informed life choices.
Our Vision
Our vision is to grow Creative Futures Academy to reach as many youth as possible, providing opportunities for young people to participate in programs like the Junior Broadcasters Workshop. By partnering with Beyfilmz Media, CFA ensures that high-quality broadcasting and trade-based educational experiences are available to youth from all backgrounds, particularly those from underserved communities. As we continue to grow, our goal is to empower youth by equipping them with both technical skills in broadcasting and exposure to a variety of trades, helping them make informed choices about their futures and lead successful, fulfilling lives.
