Youth. Ways to Connect.


Photo: MyCom is a hub of exciting opportunities—we can connect you to projects like the MyMedia youth reporter training that prepares you to get your voice out through the media. Here, MyCom’s MyMedia students practice their interviewing skills before they hit the streets and interview people on topics important to young people. 

Youth: Meet new people, learn new skills that look great on a résumé, and get your voice heard. The MyCom network can connect you and your little brothers and sisters to opportunities that will inspire and prepare you for the future.
