Student Voices

In 2014, GreatNews.Life established the Student Voices internship program (formerly #1StudentNWI), allowing high school students to share an insider’s view of everything happening at the high schools on a monthly basis. The GreatNews.Life staff not only edits and publishes their work but also sends feedback to the students to help them grow as journalists.
