Are you interested in developing journalism, writing, photography, radio, video or web design skills?  

Would you like to work on articles for The Indianapolis Star or radio stories for WFYI-FM (90.1)?

Would you like to produce pieces for multiple media outlets, including Y-Press’ Web site?

In 2009, Y-Press conducted interviews on topics such as child prodigies, teens recovering from huffing addictions and the media’s portrayal of gays.  Y-Press also worked in partnership with What Kids Can Do to produce pieces on youth activism.  

As a nonprofit youth-media organization, Y-Press is dedicated to giving youth a voice in the media

If this sounds like something you would like to be involved in, then we have the training for you!
