Additional Donors and Supporters

Since it launched in June 2016, the Mississippi Youth Media Project has enjoyed wide and growing community support for our goals of training young people to tell needed stories effectively, presenting a more effective and honest narrative about young people, providing career and workforce development to under-served youth, and helping prevent school dropouts in central Mississippi. We thank the following for financial or in-kind donations and volunteer assistance.
