NARROWSBURG, NY — The River Reporter 🗞️ will hold a series of meetings next weekend for high school students 🙋interested in becoming volunteers 🙋🏻‍♂️within its News
Ambassador Program, an initiative launched 🚀 this past spring with support from Press Forward, a nationwide fund to strengthen democracy by revitalizing local news and information.📰

News Ambassadors are community members committed to disseminating accurate, unbiased, and straightforward news coverage of local government 🧑🏾‍⚖️ meetings.

Youth News Ambassadors will perform a similar function. Students will practice objective and active listening📝, learn skills to recognize explicit and implicit bias, engage their local community 👫and government, provide a valuable service to local news, and develop marketable leadership skills for journalism, 💻 business, advocacy, and more. Participating students must complete a permission form 📋to participate; students under 18 must have a parent or guardian’s consent.☑️

Introductory meetings for interested students will be held at the following times and locations:

10AM, Saturday, October 11, Queen of Cups Coffee & Vintage, 318 Main Avenue, Hawley, PA;
10AM, Sunday, October 12, Café Wren, 611 Broad Street, Milford, PA;

These tax credits, known as Enhanced Premium Tax Credits (EPTC), lower the cost for eligible people to get insurance through the Affordable Care Act’s (ACA) individual health care marketplace. These plans are available through New York State of Health in New York and through Pennie in Pennsylvania.
