News Ambassadors Student Journalism ProgramNews Ambassadors connects student reporters from different parts of the country to work together on news stories. Students learn special reporting skills like solutions journalism and how to cover difficult topics fairly. They partner with students from places with different political views to report on local problems and solutions. The best stories get played on radio stations in both areas. Students get training, mentorship, and help from editors. This helps fill gaps in local news coverage while students gain real journalism experience.

JEDIs for Democracy Leadership ProgramA program that trains leaders to work on justice, equity, dignity, and inclusion in democracy. The program has three main parts: a fellowship for 30 leaders (mostly people of color) who get leadership training and work together for solutions, a dialogue policing project that helps police and community members communicate better during protests, and a catalytic leaders program that connects community leaders to work together. The program helps build better relationships between different groups and creates new ways to strengthen democracy.

Dialogue Policing TrainingThis program trains police officers and community groups to work together better during protests and community events. The training teaches police to talk openly with protesters, use kindness instead of force, and plan ahead with event organizers. Community members, activists, and police meet regularly to build trust and solve problems together. The goal is to protect people's right to protest while keeping everyone safe. Rev. Dr. F. Willis Johnson leads this six-month training program in Columbus.
