The most fantastic Al Neuharth Free Spirit and Journalism Conference is taking applications for its FREE week in D.C.

Please invite people to the Zooms so the students learn more about how and why to apply. (And they definitely should apply, as this is a great and FREE week for someone from each state!)
There's nothing quite like the Al Neuharth Free Spirit and Journalism Conference.

*** It's free -- There's no cost to apply or attend.
*** All it needs is ... YOU!
