AAJA’s VOICES program is a rare opportunity for college students to develop reporting and leadership skills under the tutelage of industry professionals. A cohort of 15-17 students participate in a series of trainings and leadership sessions that will include interactive online courses, and are assigned stories covering the journalism industry and AAPI communities. Finished works are then published on the VOICES website. Find more information about VOICES and the 2022 application here. The deadline to apply is March 31, 2022
