Our Goal

Your donation will support SacSchoolBeat student journalists and will allow us to work with more student journalists to cover education on campuses and in school districts in the Sacramento region. A timely mini-grant from the Sacramento Press Club has allowed us to conduct our summer training and continue the program at least through the end of the fall semester.
