The Message

Media is one of the most powerful forces shaping how young people see themselves and the world. Yet, too often, they’re left to engage all kinds of content, value systems, and voices without the skills or mentality to navigate them safely. We believe they deserve better. As a values-driven media company, the Message equips youth and young adults to think critically, find their voice, and engage with media in ways that reflect prosocial values like empathy, responsibility, and integrity. We provide media literacy education and social-emotional learning (SEL) programs, content, and tools that are culturally relevant, accessible, and fun.
