We are a group of high school and college students who are passionate about reporting on stories about young people in Vermont. We have written about topics ranging from climate activism in schools to school sports. Our stories are published through the University of Vermont's Community News Service, which allows our stories to reach a statewide audience. You can check out our stories here: https://vtcommunitynews.org/?s=underground+workshop
Some of our participants started with no journalism experience, and some also write for their school newspapers. All experience levels are welcome! We challenge our writers to meet a high standard, but we also provide them with support throughout the process, from brainstorming story ideas through final edits, to make sure that it is accessible for all.
Our students have participated in programs like the Al Neuharth Free Spirit and Journalism Conference and Northwestern University's Medill Cherubs summer journalism institute.
We meet online on Thursdays from 7-8 p.m. Email undergroundworkshopvt@gmail.com to get the link to join our meetings!
