CLARIFY (The City Limits Accountability Reporting Initiative for Youth)  program is accepting applications from New York City high school students for its summer 2024 and fall 2024 sessions.

This program offers training in public service reporting and news writing. Participants will collaborate in teams, and under the guidance of an instructor, receive training to report on a public service story. Student work has in the past been published in City Limits. See some of our recent reporting interns’ work here.

Eligibility Requirements:

 

    • Applicants must reside within New York City.

    • Eligible applicants for this session are high school sophomores, juniors, and seniors. 

  • Applicants should be interested in journalism, writing, and current events. Students must commit to attending all program sessions, without schedule conflicts, and actively participate.

Fall Program Details:

 

    • The fall 2024 internship is an eight-week program starting Tuesday, Oct. 15, 2024

    • Sessions will be held virtually two days a week, from 4:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m., with some on-site field trips scheduled throughout the program.

    • Students must commit to attending all sessions and actively participate in the virtual sessions with cameras on.

    • Successful participants will receive a stipend of $500 at the end of the program.

APPLICATION DEADLINES: 

The deadlines for the summer and fall 2024 sessions have passed. Applicants who applied for fall will hear back with a decision soon.

You may apply for both programs. Due to the limited number of spots, students can only participate in one of the sessions.

This is a highly competitive program and we can only accept a select few candidates due to the limited size. If we are unable to offer you a reporting internship, we encourage you to reapply for future sessions, and to continue your pursuit of journalism.
