IRE Launching New Student Mentorship Program

Investigative Reporters and Editors is launching a student-journalist mentor program. This one-year program is a rare opportunity for a limited number of student journalists to be paired with a professional journalist for one-on-one guidance, advice, critiques and conversation, and online training opportunities. 

The goal for students is to gain valuable knowledge, advice and experience by working closely with some of the greatest minds in the business.

College students who have at least two semesters or four quarters of school before graduation and who are members of IRE are eligible to apply. There is no cost.

The deadline for applications is Dec. 20. You can apply here.

If you're interested in serving as a mentor, please contact Jill Riepenhoff at jriepenhoff@dispatch.com.
