The mission of the Alaska Teen Media Institute is to provide teens with the tools and training needed to produce stories and with the opportunity for their stories - told in their own voices - to be shared through a variety of media. ATMI believes the teen perspective is valuable and under-represented. The Alaska Teen Media Institute is a program under the umbrella of Spirit of Youth, 501 (c)(3).

Rush Hour is a local jazz band made up of high schoolers Caleb Rapanut, Ethan Zawodny, Thomas Myers, Miko Hare, and Avery Caldwell.
Before the pandemic they were practicing together after school, playing battle of the band shows, and even served as the backing band for ATMI's live on stage radio show in 2019.
But since the pandemic hit, they've had to find creative ways to keep the band alive.

It has been a year since the pandemic forced schools in Alaska to close their doors and switch to remote learning. Slowly but surely, though, students are returning to in-person classes.
In January Pre-K through 2nd grade along with some special needs programs returned, followed by the rest of the elementary grades in February. On March 15th, middle and high school students are scheduled to return.
In this episode we hear from two administrators of the Anchorage School District: Tim Andrew, a director in elementary education, and Joe Zawodny, director of secondary education.
They talk about how in-person classes have been going for the younger grades, what school will look like for middle and high schoolers, and the options that the district provides for families who aren’t ready to send their kids back yet.

ATMI senior producer Quinn White spoke with her about how the facility has found ways to work with their clientele remotely, how isolation is affecting seniors’ mental health, and how we can all safely help our loved ones.

Sean Schubert is part of the workforce development team at King Technical High School in Anchorage. As Schubert describes it, he helps young men and women to take that next step in high school into whatever awaits them, whether that be college, trade school, the military, or a job.
But with the pandemic causing schools to switch to online learning, Schubert’s role has shifted a bit. He’s also leading classes on American sign language, philosophy, business management, English, and African-American studies. But students still come to him for guidance.
ATMI senior producer and King Tech alum, Daisy Carter spoke with Schubert to discuss the challenges of working with students remotely, added stress that youth are experiencing right now, and advice for young people preparing to enter the workforce.
