December 2, 2022
High School Insider’s Student Advisory Board is a powerful team of young leaders. They work hard to make HSI an active, engaging community of writers, readers and thinkers.

Every year, SAB members create a vision for HS Insider content initiatives and pursue their own stories related to the topic. They collaborate on multimedia stories like photo series or podcasts. They develop tools and resources that help student journalists grow as reporters. They plan and execute events (virtual, for now) that bring students and journalists together to learn from one another. In short, SAB is a place for students who want to learn and lead.

If you are a dedicated high school storyteller who wants to get more involved in HS Insider, apply to become a Student Advisory Board member!

SAB members must:

  • Be available to meet by video call every other Monday from 5-6:30 p.m. (PST) from January 23 to May 15 (no meeting February 20)
  • Plan, coordinate and attend special events on evenings and weekends (typically 2-3 events)
  • Participate in story series, content initiatives and other journalistic projects (check out past projects like Message to my next president 2020 and Minds Matter)
  • Collaborate with other board members through online chats 
  • Come with creativity; share your thoughts on how HS Insider can connect with new students and engage them in writing, covering and discussing issues that matter to them
  • Be curious and invested in learning new skills to grow as a writer, reporter, photographer and more

Benefits:

  • Opportunities to meet and learn from L.A. Times journalists and staff members
  • Chance to connect with high school writers from across Southern California and the country
