Established in the summer of 2017, the Philly School Media Network currently works with several Philadelphia public schools, including George Washington Carver High School, Henry C.

The Philly School Media Network offers a journalism summer writing camp for middle school and high school students who want to learn about journalism and engage in activism for their schools, communities, and city.
