Do you know an adventurous, inquisitive girl in grades 3rd through 12th? Applications are now available for those interested in joining the world’s only all-girl travel writers academy. Young Explorers use what they learn as journalists to inspire those in their community and beyond to explore possibilities in life. As they meet phenomenal leaders and explore careers and colleges, they acquire the soft skills vital in any future career or trade they pursue. After hands-on training workshops, each journalist will produce print, video, and photo stories for publication on various Merze Tate Explorer platforms.

Participants must be available to attend Saturday Explorer activities in the West and Southwest Michigan areas. Applications will be accepted through February 1, 2005. Students selected to apply will participate in an in-person interview session in Kalamazoo. For more details, review the application link HERE.
