PROFILE: Focus on Youth Media Team 2026

The Focus on Youth (FOY) Media Team works behind the scenes to maintain FOY’s official accounts, such as the Instagram, TikTok, and this website! This year’s 11 high school staff members coordinator worked to create a variety of media in order to allow everyone a glimpse into what Focus on Youth offered this summer! From photo collages, short form videos, to video recaps and blog posts on this very website, the FOY Media Team’s creativity was key in capturing all things FOY 2026.

At the start of every week, our Media Team would meet at their at the Catholic Education Centre to discuss the week ahead and share their work from the previous week for team feedback. Then, during the rest of the week, the team would break off into their respective pairs and groups to pay all the FOY staff a visit at their different placements.

At their placements, our staff were tasked with capturing content in the form of videos and photos, in order to create an Instagram post, TikTok video, blog post, and recap video. Visiting a variety of placements from camps to custodials, admin, and specialty placements, the FOY Media Team is certainly our most widely-travelled bunch of students!

When the team is not out and about visiting the various placements that are collaborating with FOY, they are hard at work creating content to share with everyone remotely from home. On Fridays, the team would participate in an online debrief to wrap up with week.
