Youth Inspired

During a 10-day journalism project, children from the Near Eastside, mostly in fourth and fifth grades, worked with high-school students to create a series of audio slideshows telling the stories of life in the neighborhood. A collaboration of Y-Press, a youth-driven organization that gives children a voice through journalism, and Second Story, an organization that helps kids form positive attitudes about creative writing.  Check out the stories produced by neighborhood kids!

Neighborhood IPS high school students also revamped the NESCO community website with lots of multimedia information.  Check out the updated nescocommunity.org!
