WILL A GREENBURGH XPOSURE AFTER SCHOOL STUDENT ONE DAY WIN THE PULITZER PRIZE IN JOURNALISM?

If the answer is yes - it's because students, as young as 8 years old, get practice hosting their own radio shows

Xposure after school program previously nominated for two EMMY awards

 

 
 
The Pulitzer Prize winners were recently announced.   Although no Greenburgh school graduate was on this year's list - the Xposure after school program is preparing students as young as 8 years of age for careers in journalism,, finance, science and more.
Students in the Xposure Greenburgh after school program recently interviewed me  for their WXGB Fun Finance Radio Program.  Each of the young journalists attend the Greenburgh Central schools and the youngest interviewer is only 8 years old!  The link is:

The WXGB Fun Finance radio show provides students with an opportunity to develop a range of communication skills including speaking, listening, eye contact, flexibility, being conversational, research, etc. 
I have been interviewed by Xposure Greenburgh students on a number of occasions and have  provided them with the opportunity to learn how their local government works. 
During this latest interview the students asked me a wide range of questions dealing with town issues and challenges the town has faced. The interview is currently being aired on the Greenburgh Cable Public Access Station.

This includes opening real custodial bank accounts, taking regular bank trips to deposit earnings, and opening real custodial investment accounts to purchase shares of Fortune 500 companies. 
 
The Xposure Greenburgh Program has been nominated for 2 N.Y. Emmy awards for content created by the Xposure Greenburgh students.
