The Missing Pixel Project's mission is to bring creative technical training, paired with mentorship, to underserved youth.

The Missing Pixel Project

How it Works

1. We work with well established Youth Service Organizations (YSOs)

The trusted YSOs have long track records of providing the needed stability for underserved youth within their targeted demographic, so they are properly empowered to learn.

2. A Student is accepted into the MP program

Where they begin their journey learning the basics of 3D in Autodesk Maya, just like many industry leaders did decades ago.

3. While they are learning, they will be mentored

The What matters not if the Why is not understood. It’s vital to teach the personal development skills needed to empower a person to clarify their values, build mentor relationships, and plan for their future dreams.

4. When they are ready, we empower them to find a new home

The relationships developed with our studio partners, mentors, and industry leaders will help our students find the best home for their talents.

...and ultimately,
to begin Building Their Dreams!
