The Multi-Media Training Institute (MMTI) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded by Lyn Dyson. Since 1982, MMTI has empowered youth and young adults in Washington, D.C.—especially East of the River—through media arts education. By providing hands-on training in video production, journalism, and digital marketing, we help young people build confidence, develop essential skills, and turn their creativity into opportunities.
