Updates for high school students 

Have you started your college search? What questions would you like to ask a college rep? You may have questions about dorm life or meal plans, or you may be torn between two majors.

You're fine if you don't have your college plans mapped out. You'll have the opportunity to ask all the questions to over 300 college reps at the National College Fair on Tuesday, September 26, at the Baltimore Convention Center.

Students can attend free workshops on topics like:

· Financial Aid
· Match-n-fit (finding the right college fit)
· Resume building
· Mental Health and stress management
· Study skills and time management
· Career exploration and internship opportunities

Registration is required, and the deadline to register is this Friday, September 22. To register visit NACAC.

Are you the next Jordan Peele? Maybe you're more like Ava DuVernay, or Steven Speilberg. Whatever the case, if you're interested in film, the Baltimore Youth Film Arts Program is enrolling for fall workshops now!

The Baltimore Youth Film Arts Program offers Baltimore City residents ages 16 to 29 the opportunity to learn camera skills, refine storytelling techniques, and create films and photographs to be shared at public screenings and exhibitions. The program is FREE, and participants are paid stipends for their contributions and receive certificates for successful completion. Hint: this would look great on a college application or you can start your film reel!

To learn more about the program, visit Baltimore Youth Film Arts.

Have you listened to Off the Grid? In this student-produced podcast series, the City Schools Student Media Team discusses the issues affecting students in Baltimore City.
