OYBMedia is an all-volunteer collective that has become very efficient at using it’s resources.
OYBMedia emphasizes being a creative and resourceful community-supported/sustained organization. We don’t want our organizing to be dependent on foundations but supported by the communities we work in, so we need your help!

$400 is the average cost to hold a 3-4 day workshop for up to 30 young folks. (Basically just the cost of food!)
$600 is the monthly cost of our rent and internet service for our media center at Taala Hooghan Infoshop.
