Above is a link to an interview with me, Bronx Youth Heard Director and Norwood News Editor Alex Kratz, and Lehman High School student Adonis Jimenez for a Bronx 2.0 segment that aired on Bronxnet in February. Everything I talk about in that segment remains true. Bronx Youth Heard is a fantastic program for students interested in journalism or who love to write or who want to have impact on their communities and think (like we do) that journalism is a way to make that happen.

We recently decided to extend the application deadline to Friday, October 4, which pushes our start date to Thursday, Oct. 10, so there is still plenty of to apply. [Click here to download your application now!]

This is an intensive, rewarding and fun experience that doesn’t cost a dime. The picture below is about half of our class from last semester. Don’t they look they’re having a good time?

We’ll teach you how to be a journalist and challenge you to put those skills to the test. In the end, we want you to be published in a newspaper that is read by an estimated 37,500 people in the Bronx. That’s something you can be proud of and show to college recruiters.

If you’re interested and have Thursdays, from 4 to 6:15 p.m. open, don’t hesitate, act now and apply today. The application deadline is now Friday, October 4.

Here’s a link to more information about the program and how to apply.
