Channel Kindness Youth Reporter
Apply To Be A Channel Kindness Reporter - Volunteer Position
Channel Kindness will launch our next class of youth reporters in January 2018. Trained to use their ears, eyes, and hearts, Channel Kindness reporters find, recognize, and share the everyday and heroic acts of kindness that fill our daily lives and shape our communities. Channel Kindness is a force for good, powered by the passion and purpose of young people.
During your time with Channel Kindness, you will have the opportunity to participate in monthly online training sessions led by experts in journalism, social impact, film, and writing. In addition, you will receive continuous guidance and assistance from Born This Way Foundation staff to develop, polish, and publish your stories. You’ll also get to travel to an exciting, multi-day convening we’ll host in January (location: TBD) to participate in trainings, meet your fellow reporters, and kick off your year with Channel Kindness!
Reporters will serve for a one year term (January - December 2018). As a reporter, you will be expected to create one story every two months - whether you choose written, film, or podcast format. Most importantly, we want to see you create stories about the kind, compassionate, and brave individuals and events that shape your communities and that YOU would be excited to share.
Our reporters’ stories will be told on social media, on ChannelKindness.org, and shared by our partners. We are certain that young people will tell the stories of an engaged, empowered, collaborative, and compassionate generation and present an alternative to the divisive and sensationalist stories that flood our newsfeeds every day. We're looking for people between the ages of 15 and 24 years old, who have a passion for storytelling and for using those stories to build a kinder and braver world.
Please submit this form by November 22, 2017 to apply. Reporters will be selected and notified by December 22, 2017.
