Trivia Night Supports the 2024 Summer Publishing Internship
Trivia Night puts the "fun" in fundraiser for our annual Summer Publishing Internship, a five-week paid summer workforce development program that matches 20 young people ages 14-21 with employment at local publishing and media sites.
Our goal this year is to raise $20,000 at Trivia Night, which will support this year's program costs.
Here's what last year's interns loved and learned through their experience:
"The best part of my day is walking into the courtroom or the press conference or wherever they send me that day and feeling like I'm witnessing something amazing. An opportunity that I'll likely rarely get again and an opportunity that I never thought I'd have. I feel important and valued and an integral part of the AFRO team."

"I [want to] change the uneven playing field for different age groups and people of color. I would also change the advantages that people get because of their position, privilege, or how much they're paid."

"I think the best part of a day at my site is being able to ring out customers and meeting all the wonderful people in the Greedy Reads community."
