My Project
Podcasting empowers students to share their voices, develop creativity, and build real-world communication skills. But in our Title I school, many students have never had the chance to create something like this before.
In order to bring their ideas to life, they need the right tools—microphones, headphones, a quiet place to record, editing software, and more.
Our school does not have a lot of quiet places for students to record so the soundproofing is key.
Without these essential supplies, these opportunities remain out of reach. With the right resources, we can give students the tools to explore storytelling, journalism, and audio production in ways they never imagined.
By supporting student podcasting, we’re not just providing equipment; we’re opening doors to new skills, confidence, and a future full of possibilities.
By providing schools with the resources to support student podcasting, we can help young creators develop skills they’ll carry with them forever.
Join us in ensuring every student has the chance to be heard!
