The Boys and Girls Club of San Diego's Video Production Club is going to be able to buy new equipment after all.

The Conrad Prebys Ramona Branch received a $5,000 grant from the Ramona Community Foundation to buy new equipment, including iPads and tri-pods, for the club, which started last year, the San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

"We wanted an opportunity for people to do fun classes that were free and family oriented," says branch manager Simone McCune.

The club teaches youth the video production process, from equipment functions to shots and angles to storyboard planning, filming, and the editing process, McCune says.
