Media literacy fellowship
The residential summer program serves as the entry point into a 6-month fellowship. Post-camp, alumni become paid peer educators through our Media Literacy Fellowship. Fellows receive additional training and a facilitation toolkit that prepares them to host media literacy events at their high schools and in their communities.
Through the fellowship, students gain hands-on experience in public speaking, event planning, facilitating discussion, budgeting, and community engagement.

Fellows organize and lead events at their schools/churches, earning $75 per event, completing at least one event, and working with a $50 event budget for food and drinks.
The fellowship allows us to maximize our impact by bringing conversations about critical thinking and media literacy directly into schools through youth-led engagement. By centering youth leadership, the program empowers students to become peer educators and changemakers within their own communities.
