YEA Ambassadors

By the year 2007, the U.S. Census Bureau estimates that America will be home to more than 21.3 million teens and nearly 36 million young people ages 5 to 13. Newspaper across the country are beginning to serve these teens and young people by publishing sections or content tailored especially for them, and in many cases, written by them.

The Ambassadors to the Future program has been developed to help
newspapers that want to start new sections or include youth content to
target this tough demographic, as well as to train editors who oversee
existing sections. Currently it provides this training on-site in three
areas:

• Starting a Section
• Managing a Young Staff
• Recruiting a Diverse Staff.

The NAA Foundation pays travel costs for the ambassador, a trained, award-winning youth editor. The host site pays for the ambassador's meals and lodging.

For further information or to receive an application, contact Sandy Woodcock, Director, NAA Foundation, sandy.woodcock@naa.org, 571-366-1008
