IndyKids Volunteer Opportunities

Do you have a passion for children’s literacy and progressive journalism? IndyKids helps students age 10-14 improve writing, reading and research skills while learning about social justice issues and world events that aren’t always covered by mainstream children’s media. We’re looking for dedicated volunteers who have a background in journalism, writing or education to mentor our Kid Reporters.

Mentor a Kid Reporter

As a mentor, you will be working with students age 10-14 years old at our Kid Reporter Program workshops in New York City to guide them through brainstorming, research, writing and editing their articles for the IndyKids newspaper.

Other Ways to Volunteer with IndyKids

Distribute the Newspaper

Want to see IndyKids at your local cafe or library? Contact us at info@indykids.org to find out how you can get copies of the paper to drop off at your favorite locations.

Fundraise for IndyKids

In order to keep the IndyKids newspaper free and ad-free, we rely on wonderful supporters! Contact us at donate@indykids.org to help plan events, reach out to donors and subscribers, contribute with foundation research and grant writing, or to promote fundraising and outreach initiatives at IndyKids.
