As you may know, the NICHD is now accepting applications for the Media-Smart Youth (MSY) Teen Leaders Program, designed for young adults ages 15 to 20 who are interested in bringing MSY to their communities. MSY teen leaders commit to carrying out the MSY program from start to finish—- from identifying a site and recruiting youth to teaching the lessons and providing feedback. In return, they receive leadership experience, community service hours, and recognition from the National Institutes of Health, plus training and $1,000 for program expenses. Applications are due October 24, 2014.
Please join us for one of the informational conference calls we are holding for interested applicants, taking place on October 7 and October 16 from 7:30 to 8:30 p.m. EDT. Call-in information is 1-866-692-4538, code: 2360414#. We will provide a brief overview of the Teen Leaders Program, information on applying, and answers to your questions.
