Youth Civic Media Council
We are now recruiting for a high school youth advisory team that will work directly with CPS to shape and inform the district wide media literacy strategy. These students will shape a new after-school program focus called Civic Media Labs.

The advisory team will:
- Meet virtually with staff from the Department of Social Science and Civic Engagement twice a month, after school
- Conduct action research, finalize recommendations, and present findings to the civic media literacy stakeholders team
- Receive a monetary stipend at the end of the school year
A student might be interested if they:
- are invested in their community
- are interested in media production and/or journalism
- would like to be a part of an initiative to improve access to media literacy opportunities for students in schools that lack journalism or media programs
Students are expected to:
- Attend and actively participate in bi-weekly meetings
- Provide their vision for and feedback on media literacy instruction plans
- Document their experiences and findings through a form of media
