2026 Winter Edition PROUD Magazine (Print Edition)
Real stories. Real emotions. Real teen voices.
 
Created by the student journalists of PDDBM’s 2026 Winter Class Journalism Program, this powerful print magazine explores the real-life experiences, emotions, and challenges many teenagers face today. Through research-based journalism, creative storytelling, photography, and visual design, these young journalists courageously use their voices to educate, inspire, and spark meaningful conversations.
 
More than just a magazine, this publication represents youth empowerment, creativity, resilience, and the importance of giving young people a platform to be heard. Every article, layout, and design element was researched, written, and produced by middle and high school students participating in the PDDBM afterschool journalism program.
 
This professionally printed edition is perfect for supporters of youth journalism, education, student creativity, and authentic storytelling.
 
Thank you for supporting student voices, literacy, creativity, and youth empowerment through PDDBM.
