web critique #10 - streetlevel.org

www.street-level.org
right away i like the home/introduction page. it's clean and animated but still has the clickable links at the bottom for users who may not be familiar with the moving links. i click on about us and hoping to read what this organization was about. it just listed upcoming events, programs and news. then i realized you had to click the small links to the right. there i found their mission statement and such. i think that should have been the first visible link under their about us tab. i then explored their programs. i like how some of their programs involve their participants as kind of leaders/teachers as well as learners/students like the female action voicing change. making t-shirts with youth is always fun too. the sound projects look interesting. i am so concerned with visual media these days i forget how important sound is. then there is a more intensive program called changing community project. i wish i knew of something like this when i was in high school. i was very artistic but just came home everyday and watched tv after school ... boring. then i spent a lot of time under the media section. watched the videos made by young women. very impressive. the audio section was impressive as well. quality beats and the skills of the youth rappin'/singing are better than some music on the radio right now. i would love to see all these songs performed live at a special event.
this organization seems very committed and stable. the site is easy to use and offers a lot of rel event information. i will defiantly be checking back to read about new programs.
