A journalism and leadership program with the mission of amplifying youth’s voices through the adult media. Youth, aged 8-18, work in teams on issue based stories. Their stories and commentaries are printed in The Mining Journal and are broadcast weekly on two local radio stations, Q107.7 WMQT and Public Radio 90.
The Bureau was honored with an Excellence in Broadcasting by the Michigan Association of Broadcasters for their weekly radio spots. Besides reporting, youth have participated in a cultural exchange in Japan, have covered every political convention since 1992 , have gone on numerous trips outside of the area to present at conferences and covered the TC Film Festival to name a few.
8 - 18 has strong media partners:
The bureau’s young journalists deliver a unique and vital perspectives and insight of children on important issues such as health, education and politics. At the same time, the program allows for natural mentoring through the interactions of story teams made up of older and younger kids.
