The Dallas Youth Magazine is a city-wide publication put together by a group of Dallas-area teens. The inaugural issue came out in the fall of 2022 and new editions will be released bi-annually. Dallas high schoolers can apply to work on the magazine by clicking here. Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis by committee members.

​

Our board is made up of 3 people: Rachel Jennings, Interim Chair; Lucas Helms, the Vice Chair; and, Ricardo Corpus, a Youth Commission representative. The magazine committee is split up into four roles: writers, artists, graphic designers, and editors. Each role is important to the success of the magazine. 

​

Every member of the magazine has almost entire creative liberty. Some topics that our Writers wrote about for the inaugural issue were gun control, volunteer opportunities, and local landmarks. Artists create pieces for the magazine that relate to written pieces, but they are encouraged to use their own creative style (painting, photography, etc.). Editors proofread articles, contribute to the formatting of the final copy of the magazine, and help the board generate ideas and stick to deadlines. The newest role, Graphic Designers, will be in charge of creating the layouts and pages for the magazine. They will need extensive knowledge of Photoshop, as well as Acrobat and other computer software.
