Past Youth Education Initiatives
Of the Student,
By the Student,
For the Student™ Program
The Of the Student, By the Student, For the Student™ Program is a nationally recognized, award-winning in-school service-learning program that offered students a full immersion in American history and heritage.
Eighth-grade students found themselves onsite in the Journey Through Hallowed Ground National Heritage Area, bringing the stories of those who came before them to life in videos that they wrote, produced, shot, and edited under the guidance of JTHG professionals. The resulting mini-movies, or Vodcasts, offer a permanent record of the students’ personal experiences and interpretations.
