VOX: The Voice of Our Generation

Thank you for your interest in hosting a workshop designed and facilitated by VOX Teen Communications, the nonprofit organizer of VOX Teen Newspaper. Organizations distributing VOX are eligible for one free workshop per year to enhance students' skills, increase comfort with creative expression and raise more students' voices in VOX. Workshops typically range from one to two hours, and are offered on Tuesday - Friday. We will do our best to accommodate your request; however, we often receive more requests than we can make arrangements for and appreciate your patience and understanding. We will contact you to confirm the details of the workshop.
