    The Green River Newspaper is a community print project made in collaboration with the people of Green River, Utah. By working primarily with middle- and high-school students, we empower residents to collect and create stories that are unique to Green River. The format of a town newspaper puts a collective story in the hands of the entire community.

    Sidebars_challenge

    The public education system in rural places like Green River can lack the resources, staff, and perspective to help empower youth to become educated, engaged local and global citizens. Students lack beneficial experiences like exposure to young working professionals, as well as engaging in experiential learning strategies.

     
    Sidebars_solution

    The newspaper brings creative professionals into rural setting to expose students to possible careers and facilitate real-life application of creative skills. The project pushes students to engage with their community, empowering exploration, strengthening relationships, and contributing to a sense of place-based identity.
