The Black Youth Project (www.blackyouthproject.com) seeks writers between the ages of 15-25 to write weekly blog posts for BlackYouthProject.com. Candidates at all levels of experience are more than welcome to apply. This young person should be a skilled and imaginative writer. He or she should also be interested in and aware of current events (i.e. politics, sports, music, popular culture, etc), and able to articulate an honest and unique perspective on those events.
