The Community Media Center, a non-profit public access television station in Palo Alto, CA offers internships to youth in high school and college. The interns gain valuable experience in video editing and production. They maintain a blog about the work they've been doing and their thoughts about it. The movies students produce are documentaries that educate the community about the lives of college students and high school students, among other things. Palo Alto High School's student-run newspaper ran an article about the youth program at the Media Center.
"The Media Center provides tools for teens considering a career in media to get a taste of the field," the article stated. The center does this by giving interns the freedom to use equipment for free so they can successfully produce and edit the projects they've been working on.

This such a great opportunity to offer students. And even better that they school newspaper published an article about the internships to get the word out there. I wish I had thought about an internship in high school, it would have been a great experience. Erica S.
This is a pretty good idea. I wish more students here blogged about campus life. It would definitely make the college experience more fun. Even The Towerlight doesn't have a blog, which is very disappointing.

Wow, I checked out that blog and boy do I feel like an underachiever now! Granted, blogs weren't so big back when I was in high school, but still! Those kids are definitely going to go far.
