Volunteer for IndyKids!

Do you have a passion for children’s literacy and progressive journalism? IndyKids is a non-profit organization that produces the only national newspaper written by kids for kids, providing news from an angle that kids can understand and relate to. We help young students in grades four through eight improve writing, reading and research skills while learning about social justice issues and world events that aren’t covered by mainstream children’s media. We’re looking for dedicated volunteers who are writers or have a journalism background to become mentors for our kid reporters or editors for our printed newspaper.

Here are examples of our recent articles written by our youth reporters with the help of our mentors:

We were featured in Seen in NY by New Learning Times, an online publication from Teachers College, Columbia University.
