The Montana Media Lab empowers youth in rural and Indigenous communities to find their voices. We teach teens how to tell stories about their own experiences using audio journalism. Along the way, students get a look inside the media landscape. Participants say the workshops help them feel confident in their abilities to separate fact from fiction on the internet.
We’ve worked with high schools in Lodge Grass, Ronan, Box Elder, Missoula and many other Montana communities. Interested in starting a youth voices audio storytelling project in your school? Get in touch!
