JOIN THE TEAM: During the school year, teens in our Fellowship Program are mentored by women professionals and are paid to write for our magazine, produce videos and podcasts, and develop their photography and storytelling skills.
To celebrate their hard work and commitment, participants who complete at least 80% of program projects earn an educational adventure. This year, our fellows traveled by train to downtown Chicago for a four-day, three-night experience filled with learning, exploration, and fun.
Highlights included visits to the Museum of Broadcast Communications, the University of Illinois Chicago, and Benesch, where they met with women engineers and learned about careers in STEM. They also enjoyed a Chicago River Architecture Boat Tour, a Broadway show, a day at the beach with stunning skyline views, and meals at some of Chicago's favorite restaurants.
These experiences help young women build confidence, explore career opportunities, and create lasting memories while developing their voices as storytellers and leaders.
Applications for the 2026–2027 Fellowship Program open in September. Stay tune
