Report for America recognized the work of young student journalists across the country during its inaugural Student Journalism Awards ceremony, held virtually on April 11. Entries came from youth being mentored by Report for America corps members who, as a result of our national service mission, volunteer their time in the community where they work.
The primary goal of these service projects is to support the media literacy of young people across the U.S. by helping them produce stories about the world around them.
“Today, we celebrate those projects, but most importantly, we celebrate the amazing collaboration between students and corps members,” Denise Tejada, service projects manager, said. “Since June, corps members have worked with more than 2,800 students. In total, corps members have input over 37,000 hours spent on projects serving nearly 13,000 students.”
