T.I.L.T. (Teen Independent Living Training) is a program that serves adolescents, ages 15-21 in Mercer County, New Jersey. They have experienced family trauma, been placed in foster care, boarding homes, or are recently out of residential placements.

A group of phenomenal young men from TILT recently completed a video project through the Beyond Expectations Teen Filmmaking Program. The piece has already been showcased at Philadelphia area film screenings and is now airing on Media Independence television.

We'll talk with the students, their dedicated life coaches, and other members of the TILT leadership team. The teens will share their firsthand experiences of learning basics of the film making, creating and co-producing the video. More important than the finished project is an illustration of what's possible when organizations collaborate and caring adults take a REAL interest in young lives.
