Youth Truth Channel
(Paid Internship)
The Youth Truth Channel Interns will capture content and produce radio stories that are part interview/ part narration. Once trained, these interns can choose to create stories for one of these two paths:
​
-
Youth Voices in Politics Radio Series: The Youth Voices in Politics Radio series consists of segments that are educational, highlight activism, and showcase advocacy groups, opportunities, and skills. Stories can range from what is happening in City Council and current events to what's on the ballot and foundational knowledge for civic engagement.
-
Youth Food Justice Alliance- Radio Documentary: The Youth Food Justice Alliance Radio Documentary follows a team of interns as they execute a food justice project from inception to implementation.
This internship offers Youth Truth Channel interns free training, access to the radio station, a chance to broadcast their radio segments, and $17.15 per hour, plus a training completion bonus. We are looking for dedicated, creative, and driven interns, so the selection is somewhat competitive. The internship is open to young people ages 16-24. Please send resumes, if available; we will interview potential interns. Radio production and field reporting training is mandatory and requires 100% attendance.

Youth Interns Ages 17-24
Intern Cohort 1: Project Development Intern Team (September through Oct)
As a YFJA Project Development Intern, you'll work as part of a small team to learn from local research, community assessments, and experienced community partners. You'll use what you learn to help develop practical plans for food justice projects in the Fruit Valley community.
This isn't an internship where you're simply observing from the sidelines. You'll research, ask questions, collaborate with partners, develop ideas, and help turn research into actionable project plans.
What You’ll Do
You'll work collaboratively with a team of 4–5 youth interns and learn from professionals and community partners, including:
-
City of Vancouver Neighborhood Needs Assessment Team
-
Clark County Community Health Assessment Team
-
Bikes for Clark County
Together, you'll examine existing research and community needs to help develop implementation plans for a defined set of Youth Food Justice Alliance project components.​
