Duration

As America celebrates its 250th anniversary, New York City’s libraries are playing a vital role in inspiring young people to explore, reflect, and share their own American stories.

Their city-wide Teen Voices contest and magazine project offers youngpeopleages 13-18 the opportunity to submit their stories, essays, poems, and art to be published in print and digital formats. With support from Carnegie, NYPL will offer two special Teen Voices contests inviting NYC-based youth to reflect on what America means to them. In conjunction, NYPL will offer an array ofthemed programs celebrating America’s 250thand engaging youth in telling their American story, including writing workshops, classroom field trips showcasing NYPL’s archives, a summer writing contest for students ages 6-12, and an activity guide for educators, families, and community organizations.

It addresses a critical information gap: while colleges are vital engines of social mobility, their performance is woefully under reported, creating a disconnect with employers and the public. Two-thirds of major media markets have no dedicated higher education reporter, and community colleges, whichserve40 percent of all U.S. undergraduates,receive less than 3 percent of coverage. Open Campus fills this void through a unique collaborative model, embedding specialized reporters directly into local newsrooms across the country and supporting them with a national team of editors, data analysts, and training. This network, now 18 partners, connects education to opportunity through ground-level reporting. The impact is substantial, producing over 600 stories reaching 18 million readers monthly and driving tangible reforms. With continued support, Open Campus will expand this network into underserved regions, build greater newsroom capacity, and deepen essential coverage on how education equips people for work and democratic life.
