Parent Council

The Parent Council is a group of dedicated parents of current students and alumni of the Ghetto Film School. The Parent Council serves as ambassadors of the GFS organization and its programs and initiatives, engaging with other parents, local community, supporters, and the entertainment and media industry.

 In 2018 the Parent Council voted to establish a new scholarship fund for our Fellows Program alumni going onto college. The new scholarship program raises awareness about GFS and the young. people going onto college and beyond.
