High Five Access Media and YouthPower365 invite local high schoolers to apply for a unique, virtual, Valley-wide project. It is an opportunity for students to share their perspectives and experiences related to COVID-19 in the Eagle County community.

High Five will continue coverage of government meetings and sharing of vital local information on cable Channel 5, Live on Five, and our website...

As Thanksgiving approaches, we want our volunteers to know we’re thankful they are a part of the High Five Access Media family. Community access media is a grassroots effort by locals to create a diverse tapestry of voices on local cable television and the internet.

In particular, we’d like to thank Santi Wilkins, a sophomore at Battle Mountain High School who got his start at High Five during our Summer Youth Camp. Santi and his team campers decided to tackle a video project focused on the transgender community in Eagle County.

You asked, and you shall receive. We’re throwing open our doors on evenings and Saturdays this winter so volunteer community producers have more opportunities to create content to share with friends, family and the community.

Our new vision at High Five Access Media is to offer the community more educational opportunities to learn about, create and share media. This is your chance to share your voice with the community.

The possibilities for open studio hours are limitless...

Our new vision at High Five Access Media is to offer the community more educational opportunities to learn about, create and share media, especially for local youth. What better way for students to find their voice and share their vision for the future than through community media?

We hope to build a culture of creativity and collaboration through visual arts, and create a rich tapestry of voices in Eagle County.

These opportunities begin Oct. 24 and include an upcoming series of workshops in partnership with Mountain Recreation. In October, November and December, we’ll hold individual workshops for youth ages 12 and up to learn about storytelling, Claymation, cinematography and field production.

Looking to stay active during the fall break Oct. 14 to 17? Look no further, High Five Access Media has you covered. We’ll be offering youth ages 13 to 18 free half-hour demonstrations from 10 to 10:30 a.m. on multimedia, video coloring, Claymation and green screens and open studio hours from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.

The lights shine bright Friday nights beginning Sept. 6 at 7 p.m. when the Battle Mountain Huskies football team plays against the Alameda Pirates live on High Five Access Meat.

All Battle Mountain varsity home football games are televised live, on local cable Channel 5, or your smartphone, tablet or computer on Live on Five at www.highfivemedia.org/live-five.

Save the date for the Vail Town Council candidate forum on Sept. 16 from 5:30 to 8 p.m. at Donovan Pavilion.

The forum, hosted by the Vail Chamber and Business Association and High Five Access Media, is open to the public and offers voters an opportunity to learn about the office-seekers vying for four open seats on the Vail Town Council. The event is made possible by the Vail Board of Realtors and will be moderated by local radio personality Tony Mauro and features questions on issues pertinent to the town.
