GOALS:

Lane Doc Institute plays an important role in supporting youth mentorship programs in Jackson, Tennessee, through arts and visual media programs. Our programs target youth and young adults in under-resourced communities to pursue their artistic skills.

LDI also provides seed grants to young documentary filmmakers from all over the world to pursue their creativity in filmmaking.

We wish to provide a stimulating cultural and intellectual climate in which creativity, critical thinking, and leadership can be fostered among the young people. Students will be inspired to embrace lifelong learning and be equipped with knowledge and skills that will allow them to feel confident to succeed in life. LDI is dedicated to fostering a community of young students who will challenge themselves and thrive in their chosen professions.

To achieve our dual goals, we are committed to raising funds to support our mission and expand our reach. Our goal is to ensure that all students have access to the resources and opportunities they need to excel in order for them to be better equipped in higher education.
