The Our Time Is Now Summer Institute is a week long program for high school students interested in public relations, media arts, and international affairs. The youth collaborate with social entrepreneurs, media producers, public relations professionals and young change-makers from around the world to take action on local and global challenges by developing and implementing a comprehensive communications plan, including the production of digital video and print media. Following the institute, students will continue to collaborate with a local public relations firm to implement their communications plan and raise public awareness about pressing local and global issues.
