Mississippi Youth Media Project students are full-time, paid journalists working in their downtown Jackson, Miss., newsroom during the YMP summer programs. New Program Manager Melishia Grayson is an educator who came of age mentored by Dr. Bob Moses at Lanier High School to believe that young people can and need to use their own voices to shape new media narratives about themselves—and bring solutions to their communities. Enrollment for the 2023 summer programs is open now.
