Mission

Youth Journalism International connects student writers, artists and photographers with peers around the globe, teaches journalism, fosters cross-cultural understanding, and promotes and defends a free youth press. Since 1994, it has offered a free education to students in two-thirds of the world's countries, including the United States. In publishing their work, YJI offers young people a platform to express their views and tell the news from their land, an opportunity that empowers young people as it educates them. It also allows people worldwide to have a keener understanding of what young people are doing, thinking and dreaming.

YJI CONTEST - YJI holds an annual journalism contest for young people that recognizes some of the best work by students 19 and under. Among the major prizes are ones for Youth Journalist of the Year and Educator of the Year, along with awards for both the best commentary and news story. With more than three dozen categories, the contest aims to foster a strong youth journalism community worldwide, beyond YJI's own program.

YJI TOGETHER - YJI holds annual global conferences and as many regional events as possible so that students get to know each other in person and learn directly from instructors. To the degree possible, YJI helps low-income students attend. YJI also encourages students to seek more education and use their skills to help build a better world.
