Youth Xchange is a statewide student video competition that began in 2003 to encourage dialogue among Hawai’i's students on community issues. Participation has grown exponentially, making Youth Xchange Hawai’i's largest and only issues-oriented student video competition in the State. More than a contest, Youth Xchange creates a way to engage, educate and empower students, providing them with a compelling voice for positive change and community well being.
Congratulations to over 2000 students and teachers who participated in this year’s Youth Xchange Video Competition. The awards ceremony was held on April 27, 2012 at the Ihilani Resort and Spa. Check out the 600+ entries, finalists and winners on ‘ŌleloNet, our Video On-Demand service.
