The L.A. Local News Initiative is expanding our youth education program across L.A., giving more young people the opportunity to get trained and paid to create multimedia journalism and more communities access to trusted local reporting. Youth will also have the opportunity to join our chapter of the award-winning Documenters program, which trains and pays residents to attend and document public meetings. With mentorship and 15 years of success, this program is proven to provide career pathways and civic literacy in a underserved neighborhood.
