American Creed Youth Media Challenge

What motivates youth to turn idealism into action? The American Creed initiative invites students to explore America’s foundational ideals and consider what inspires them in their own communities.

Students throughout the nation are invited to participate in the American Creed public media project. Participants compose their own storytelling media and learn from the perspectives of others. Student stories exploring foundational American ideals and how idealism can be turned into action in their own communities will be published to KQED’s national Youth Media Challenge publishing platform, creating a national dialogue promoted by partnering local PBS stations around the country.
