New York Times Corps talent-pipeline program

The Times Corps is a talent-pipeline program for college students to receive career guidance from New York Times journalists over a multiyear period.

The Times Corps specifically targets students in the United States from underrepresented groups, such as students of color and/or students from socio-economically disadvantaged backgrounds. It is open to the Classes of 2023, 2024, 2025 and 2026. The program is replacing The New York Times Student Journalism Institute, our two-week annual boot camp, which finishes a successful nearly 20-year run supporting students of color.

Students will talk with their Times advisers perhaps two or three times a year, up to the duration of students’ undergraduate careers. Those conversations will focus primarily on career-building advice. Occasional speakers, trainings and activities will punctuate the experience.

Students who complete the program and who are active for at least two years in the Times Corps will receive an all-expenses-paid trip to New York City, where they will tour the Times newsroom and meet Times journalists in person. The best-performing Times Corps members, after they graduate, also may receive consideration for The New York Times Fellowship, an immersive, yearlong work program.

The Times is currently recruiting its first class for this exciting new program. The application period closes on June 15, 2022. Apply here.
