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.
If you are interested, to volunteer as a mentor, please fill out an online application here.
To volunteer as an editor, please fill out an online application here.
For more information contact us at volunteer@indykids.org. We look forward to hearing from you!

Dear Students,
The Journal of International Affairs is seeking student submissions for its semiannual Cordier Essay Contest. The author of the winning article will receive $500 along with publication alongside noted scholars in the Journal’s forthcoming issue on Uprisings, Protests, and Revolutions. Published by Columbia University’s School of International and Public Affairs, the Journal of International Affairs is one of the oldest and most respected foreign affairs periodicals.
Submission Guidelines:
· Submission Deadline: 7 September 2014, 11:59 PM EDT. Interested authors can send submissions or questions to Michael Stecher (Cordier Editor) at mjs2310@columbia.edu.
Fall 2014: Uprisings, Protests, and Revolutions
The Fall 2014 issue will explore the recent international wave of uprisings from a variety of angles. Among the topics covered will be the role of social media and new technology in the organization and execution of contemporary protest movements, as well as the ways that regimes have manipulated these same resources to quell dissent. Beyond technology, we will also explore the role of violence and nonviolence as methods and how they have contributed to the success or failures of protestors’ and revolutionaries’ goals. Another section will look at the international response to uprisings. Why do some movements lead to intervention by powerful states and international organizations, while others are left to fend for themselves? Finally, as a complement to the above topics, we will feature case studies on movements that have been less widely covered.
Uprisings, Protests, and Revolutions is a topic that should allow authors to take a scholarly view of momentous social changes with extreme contemporary relevance and historical import. The Journal’s editorial board plans to approach the topic in a holistic manner that is more than news analysis and attempts to shape the way that these events will be considered a generation from now.
Fall 2014 Cordier Essay: Discuss a contemporary issue that is related to the causes, success, failure, or implications of a contemporary or ongoing uprising, protest, or revolutionary movement. The submission may consider any of the topics described above or address a separate question related to contemporary uprisings, protests, and revolutions (e.g. the economic causes of contemporary social unrest). A successful essay will explore a specific facet and apply lessons learned to the broader issue.
Surface is pleased to announce our 14th annual Avant Guardian photography contest showcasing the top up-and-coming photographers.
Ten finalists—chosen by our editors and a star jury including Iwan Baan, Johan Lindeberg, and Offset’s Keren Sachs—will have their work published in our October 2014 issue and be featured in an exhibition. Complimentary studio time at Splashlight will be available to each winner for producing a shoot for the magazine.
The contest has helped launch the career of many celebrated talents, including Nicholas Duers, KT Auleta, Joshua Jordan, Mark Veltman, Vanina Sorrenti, and Sarah Silver, whose work you may recognize from the attached flyer (and our fashion editorial last fall:https://vimeo.com/78835771).
