The work being done by Press Pass NYC not only enriches students' lives, but is crucial to the civic well being of our city — and nation. I hope the program can expand to cities across the U.S., and am proud to be a Press Pass NYC volunteer!

I learned of Press Pass through my friend and writer, Peg Tyre.
I was immediately impressed—and very much in support of—the amazing work being done to promote and nurture the field of journalism in schools.
I hope my contribution will help Press Pass provide the means necessary to help students and advisors reach their goals.

Providing NYC Public Schools the Free Resources to Start and Sustain Student Journalism Programs

Press Pass NYC equips under-resourced schools with the free faculty training, student resources, and program support necessary to start a sustainable school newspaper program. Seeing a school newspaper in every public school in New York City, in the form that’s best for that school and those students, is how our approach will and does make all the difference - and what every donation we receive goes toward.

For example!
$175 funds an in-school journalism writing, interviewing or photojournalism workshop.
$500 funds a stipend for a student editor-in-chief.
$1000 funds a stipend for a teacher adviser's extra time.
$2000 funds a year of workshops for students and advisers.
$3750 fully funds a student-run news site at a public high school for one year. 
$7500 fully funds a student-run news site at a public NYC high school for two years.
