Everyone is welcome at Y-Press, regardless of ability or background. The only requirement of new recruits is curiosity and an enthusiasm for getting involved. Because Y-Press interviews are tape recorded, literacy, confidence, language nor age, are not barriers to participation. Peers and staff help individuals who need support.

Young journalists research issues, write questions, conduct interviews and help keep the office and its operations in order. They also write and edit stories. Some Y-Press members do speeches before other groups about the organization or work to raise money for special projects.

Besides working on stories, members help run the nonprofit organization by: • helping to brainstorm new projects and programs; • recruiting and training new members; • serving as managing editors and youth directors; • suggesting how to improve and develop the news bureau; • promoting and marketing the program with community members; • sending evaluations and copies of stories to interviewees; • redesigning Y-Press’s Web site • interviewing and recom.

We’re located on the fifth floor of The Indianapolis Star building. The address is 307 N. Pennsylvania St., Indianapolis, IN 46204-0145. I thought Y-Press was in The Children's Museum. And didn't it used to be called "Children's Express?" Y-Press used to be part of Children’s Express, an international children’s press organization, but decided to become independent of that organization in 1999. At that time it changed its name.

For a lot of reasons. Many want to improve their writing and research skills. Some want to learn to be leaders. Others join because a friend or sibling convinced them to do so. Some kids know it’s important to be involved in service and extracurricular activities to get into a good college.

It's fun hanging out with kids from different schools. Sure, we work on stories and do interviews, but we laugh and have fun doing it. We meet lots of interesting kids and adult and learn a lot without getting graded on it. We eat good snacks, too.

Any one who is between the ages of 10 to 18 can be trained as a Y-Press reporter or editor. If you are curious, you have the essential characteristics of a Y-Press member. At Y-Press young people are key decision-makers. From reporting a story, to leading a story idea meeting, to attending Y-Press board meetings, youth are at the table.

Y-Press stories appear in The Indianapolis Star every other week in the “Voices” section. Y-Press journalists also broadcast stories and commentaries on public radio’s WFYI-FM (90.1).

Y-Press covers a youth beat, shedding perspective on a variety of issues affecting youth. Its stories are by young journalists for everyone.

Y-Press has reported about Adderall abuse, Amish teens, the benefits of video games, youth’s own poverty experiences, and the benefits of therapeutic horseback riding. Kids come up with the ideas and plan how to do them. Y-Press has covered international youth issues throughout the years, including stories from Kuwait, Northern Ireland, Cuba, Hong Kong and Benin in West Africa.

Yes, but they are committed to teaching and guiding, not leading, youth journalists. Lynn Sygiel is the bureau director and has been with Y-Press or Children’s Express for more than 17 years. She formerly was a teacher for gifted students and also led a Newspaper in Education program in the Northeast. An assistant bureau director and a part-time writing coach, Kathleen Schuckel, are also adult staff members.

Each prospective member must e-mail or send an application letter by post to Y-Press. It should include name, age, address, phone and e-mail information. The letter should also include what you believe you can contribute to Y-Press and mention a recent news story that has captured your attention. You may apply at any time of the year, but trainings occur twice a year (September, February).

Youth. It’s also a play on words. We hope that kids in Y-Press ask lots of “Why?” questions.

Y-Press places young voices in the mainstream press. Therefore, stories are held to the same standard and scrutiny as adult reporters face in media jobs. The second goal is to develop Y-Press members’ skills by giving them responsibility that they may not encounter in the classroom.

Yes, but campuses should recognize that this is a two-and-a-half year project and should therefore incorporate a student who can serve for the life of the project. You might decide that student input into the project is just as effectively garnered by creatively engaging groups of students—particularly students who are not regularly tapped for such activities—throughout the process.
