Resource Links

  The NW-ARM awarded opportunity funds individuals or groups engaged in promoting media literacy in local communities, schools, churches or other agencies and may be used for example by teachers, professors, recreation leaders and after school programs. The funds could be used for a wide-range of purposes, including support for a speaker or consultant, implementation of a media literacy curriculum resource, service learning project, senior project, food or other incentives for after school media literacy programs, or more systematic organized activities with a goal of promoting media literacy education. Projects ranging up to $300 are encouraged.
