About The Youth Reporting Internships

吉彩网网站's Youth Reporting Internships is a community and platform for young people to interact and share their passion for radio journalism and storytelling.

This summer, 吉彩网网站 Youth Reporting opened up our highly competitive and award-winning youth radio journalism training program to all high school and college students, ages 16-25. Students with no prior experience were encouraged to apply, as well as students with experience in journalism or media-production.

Participants learned (and/or sharpened) their radio journalism skills, interacted with a diverse group of reporters in various stages of their career, and connected with other youth across the state of North Carolina via weekly training videos, Zoom calls, radio challenges and Instagram live. Some participants are featured on the 吉彩网网站 Youth Podcast and/or featured on 吉彩网网站's on-air broadcast.

We are here to AMPLIFY Youth Voices, so What's Your Story?
