Apprentice Power harnesses the collaborative power of the pen to align and broaden the social, economic and environmental value propositions of nonprofit newsrooms, work-based and life-long learning and solutions-focused community and entrepreneurial journalism. The process includes the formation of strategic alliances among newsrooms, education institutions, digital media and marketing companies, banks, libraries, alumni groups, industry associations and others stakeholders with community-focused interests.

Apprentice Power accelerates evidence-based reporting on diverse societal challenges and the community assets and resources that were uncovered and created to facilitate the solutions. Apprentice Power welcomes discussions to determine the potential for pre-apprenticeships and apprenticeships to be aligned with paid internships, mentored afterschool programs, early college high schools and alumni initiatives.  

Apprentice Power is a strategic partner of Helping Communities Work (HCW), an asset-based community and economic development collaborative focused on opportunity zones and other economically distressed areas. HCW supports the capacity-building strategies of newsrooms, community colleges and other nonprofit organizations and institutions through human, social and financial capital leveraging strategies. http://www.helpingcommunitieswork.org
