In the afternoon, they are assigned to newsrooms to work with award-winning journalists such as Pulitzer winner, Rochelle Sharpe, as their editor to cover different stories – entertainment, politics, sports, metro, and investigations – in the Boston area. Students also have the option of selecting our photojournalism track with veteran photojournalist and Boston Globe journalist, Stephen Haines.

Our two-week workshops begin on June 22, July 6, and July 20. At the end of each session, your student will walk away with: Articles to add to their professional portfolio A unique experience to write about in their college application essay An appreciation of journalism and the confidence to use their voice to tell stories in their own communities New friends While we accept applications on a rolling basis, we strongly encourage students to apply early to secure their seat.
