The Beat Within (a program of Pacific News Service)

We like to bring books to our workshops as a reward to youth who show interest in writing or are scared to write because their literacy levels are low. Your gift will help The Beat Within distribute books on topics appropriate for young adults. more

$100 will cover an individual youth's stipend for one week. Youth will develop their typing skills. They will learn the whole production process for The Beat Within weekly magazine. Youth will also work in an environment with a diverse group of adult and youth staff all working to better the community. more

Your donation will help to produce one printed copy of the magazine for one young person inside the juvenile halls. Often, the magazine will contain the youth's writing, giving him/her a sense of accomplishment, pride, and belonging in a positive community. more
