Indigenous Youth Media Workshop

Andy Harvey Indigenous Youth Media Workshop

Live and Learn in Flagstaff, Arizona

APPLICATIONS NOW OPEN FOR THE 2021 WORKSHOP!

The Andy Harvey Indigenous Youth Media Workshop brings 25 Native American high school students from across Arizona & the Southwest to the Northern Arizona University Flagstaff campus for a week each summer to learn the “ins and outs” of broadcast media and journalism.

This year’s workshop will be held August 1 through August 7. Our intent is to do the workshop in-person.  If NAU is not allowing in-person workshops at that time, the workshop will be virtual. If you do not have a computer, internet access and reliable wi-fi, we plan to work with you to provide you with hot spot access at home or have you work from and live on the NAU campus.

If the workshop is in person, workshop participants live in residence halls on the NAU campus in Flagstaff and work in the School of Communication’s Media Innovation Center newsroom and HD television studio.

Working alongside NAU students and broadcast journalism professionals, the students will learn about college living, media jobs and careers, and will produce multimedia stories, learn how to conduct interviews, work in television, radio, photography and more, concluding with a live-to-tape news broadcast.

This workshop encourages Native American and other high school students to work together to tell the stories that are important to them and their communities. We give you the tools to take that first step. This was the vision of the late Andy Harvey, NAU Journalism alumnus and multi-media reporter. Andy worked to tell the stories important to him at KPNX 12 News in Phoenix. His dream was that the next generation would take up the torch and be the storytellers of their communities.

The primary goals of the workshop are to enable Native American students to use the tools and the skills learned at the workshop to tell their own stories and promote aspirations to attend college. This workshop empowers Indigenous youth to be agents of positive change in their communities by giving voice to Native American experience.

Cost: $50 tuition. Students are provided room & all meals during the week. Full scholarships are available.

Travel to/from Flagstaff is not provided.

Please fill out the application here and return by March 31, 2021.
