Press Pass NYC is a necessary organization in fostering student journalism and civic involvement.

Every dollar you donate ensures these school-based student journalism programs get the training and support they need to lay the strong foundations needed to ensure long-term success and sustainability - through our current Journalism Adviser Fellowship for teachers and our Student Journalism Leaders Fellowship programs. AND next school year we're opening our brand-new Bronx Student Journalism Bureau.  

Whatever level you can contribute, $50 or more, is an investment in our youth and the future of community-centered, fact-based journalism. 

And if you're looking for inspiration, we have a few donor tiers to suggest:

- A **Publisher**: A gift of **$10,000** sponsors a full year of professional development, training and mentorship for a Press Pass NYC Journalism Adviser Fellow and the launch of a new student news publication at a partner school. 
- A **Student Newsroom Patron**: A gift of **$1200 (or $100 per month)** sponsors a full year of Press Pass NYC workshops and materials for a partner-school newsroom. 
- A **Student Journalist Patron**: A gift of **$500 (or $45 per month)** sponsors a Press Pass NYC Journalism Student Leaders Fellow for a full semester.
- **Bronx Booster**: A gift of **$1000** directly to our new Bronx Bureau earns you and a guest an invitation to the Official Bronx Bureau Launch Event in early 2027.

**Thank you on behalf of the Press Pass NYC Team, Partner Schools and Students!**

Providing NYC Public Schools with Training and Resources to Start and Sustain Student Journalism Programs and Publications

Press Pass NYC equips under-resourced NYC public schools with free faculty training, student resources and program support to launch or revive a student news publication – and keep it running. Our goal is to level the playing field in a city where a 2022 Baruch College study found 93 of the 100 highest poverty high schools had no student newspaper. Working on a news team gives teens the opportunity to develop their curiosity and passion by writing about topics that interest them, developing critical thinking, teamwork and leadership along with media literacy.

Since 2021, we’ve helped 30 NYC public schools start or revive a student news publication, online or in print, with 14 more coming in the 2025-26 school year. Every donation goes toward supporting these budding news teams through fellowships for teachers and students.

For example:

- $250 funds a stipend for a Student Journalism Leader
- $500 funds an hands-on journalism workshop for students
- $1000 funds a Journalism Adviser Fellow's first year stipend 
- $2000 funds one year of journalism supplies and resources for a student news team                                              
- $25,000 fully funds three-years of program support for a school news team to ensure sustainability.
