Young Journalists' Academy: home

What is the YJA?
The Young Journalists’ Academy is a scheme run by Journalism Education, a not-for-profit organisation. The main YJA programme is a journalism summer school, held in August in Canary Wharf. Our other activities include school visits by YJA staff, the YJA alumni programme and the YJA ambassador scheme.
