GENRE:   TV Documentary Parody

DESCRIPTION:   The purpose of this project was to use the allure of the ‘MTV Cribs’ television program to comically illustrate the importance of hard work, education and positive values to new YouthBuild members.  Two leaders from YouthBuild’s National Alumni Exchange spoof celebrities and share their personal stories in an effort to deliver their message.

The mission of YouthBuild USA and YouthBuild International is to unleash the intelligence and positive energy of low-income young people to rebuild their communities and their lives.  YouthBuild seeks to join with others to help build a movement toward a more just society in which respect, love, responsibility, and cooperation are the dominant unifying values, and sufficient opportunities are available for all people in all communities to fulfill their own potential and contribute to the well-being of others.  To learn more about YouthBuild USA visit their website at www.youthbuild.org.
