Doing our part to bridge the digital divide by pairing University of Denver students in need of professional experience with Colorado non-profit and not-for-profit organizations in need of digital media.

Upcoming Deadlines

The Digital Media Outreach Center staff are now looking for projects for the 2008-2009 academic school year (September 2008 to May 2009). We're also seeking projects for the summer, particularly with clients in need of video-based work. Please submit an application as soon as possible and we will try to place you with a volunteer.

DMOC Mission

To provide digital media planning, design, development, administration, education, and ongoing support for Colorado-based non-profit and not-for-profit organizations in a manner that also gives students and faculty opportunities to apply and extend curriculum-based learning to community-based projects. The Center also seeks to cultivate among students a desire to continue with community outreach activities throughout their professional lives.

DMOC Concept

Keeping up with the times in this increasingly digital world requires time and resources that many non-profit organizations simply do not have.

The job market is more competitive than ever before. While a good education is extremely important, experience is also essential to a student’s future success.

DMOC realizes this and has developed a way to help both parties. By matching organizations with student volunteers, both groups are getting very necessary positive results.

DMOC Rationale

There are many measurable benefits for the companies, organizations, and institutions that have enough resources and expertise to develop their own utilization of digital media. However, there continues to be a vast segment of American society, particularly the non-profit and not-for-profit organizations, that is grossly underrepresented and undersupported in the quest to digitize.

Most NPOs lack the resources and the expertise to develop sophisticated, effective, and long-term digital strategies that are integrated with their own particular values, missions, and goals. As a result, many NPOs are almost completely left out of the digital loop and have very little hope of ever getting truly connected and taking full advantage of all that the digital world has to offer.

The Digital Media Outreach Center at the University of Denver is designed to provide instrumental support for Colorado-based non-profit and not-for-profit organizations that wish to develop, establish, maintain, and expand a digital presence via any type of digital media with no development costs.

By combining the expertise of DMOC staff with the budding talent, energy, and commitment of student interns selected from undergraduate and graduate students enrolled in key programs at the University of Denver, DMOC provides long-term support for NPOs in Colorado.

This approach also involves our students in socially redeeming, high-technology projects that will hopefully provide them with the desire to remain civically engaged throughout their careers and encourage them to consider technology careers in the NPO sector.
