Nominate a Student for the Newseum Student Advisory Team
The Newseum is looking for opinionated, engaging and informed middle and high school students to be part of its 2011-2012 Student Advisory Team.
Returning member Sethly Davis, a high school junior, says, “To be on the team you don’t need anything except a creative imagination and interest in the news.”
Team members serve as the Newseum’s student ambassadors and provide valuable feedback on exhibits, videos and programs in the works.
“I think the team is the rare place where student voices do actually matter. I love being able to really have an influence on the exhibits, etc. in the Newseum,” says Callie Gonyea, a college freshman.
In addition to previewing new exhibits before they open to the public, students receive free admission tickets and verification of volunteer hours. The team meets once a month at the Newseum in Washington, D.C.
For some, one of the unexpected perks is the chance to hang out with other students with similar interests.
“I like meeting all the diverse teenagers. Working with them was an invaluable experience because I gain perspective from them,” says Zoe Dobkin, a high school senior.
If you know students who fit this description, please forward this email and encourage them to apply.
More details and the application are available on our website. Address is http://www.newseum.org/education/student-resources/student-advisory-team/index.html

Applications are due Friday, September 23.
