Magazine?
A Youth Publication
The aim of Literacy Project International, also known as Whose Magazine? A Youth Publication creates programming that connects with children from a wide spectrum. We focus on children who are in the 1st to 12th grades from communities of color, and or from at-risk or
underserved communities. We link youth to real-world expectations, deadlines, and assignments while increasing their critical thinking and verbal communication to writing, and cultural literacy.
