MoJo (Mobile Journalism) Bootcamp

Give Pueblo a Voice: Fund a MoJo Media Kit Today

We are raising $5,000 to equip the next generation of neighborhood reporters with the tools and training they need to tell Pueblo’s stories. What began as a simple news literacy program has grown into an educational initiative designed to meet young people where they are — on their devices. A smartphone can be a destructive weapon when used carelessly, but with the right guidance it becomes a powerful tool for communication and storytelling. That is the goal of MoJo Bootcamp: two days of immersive, hands-on training led by professionals and educators in the media and entertainment industry.

We have received a generous grant from the Colorado Housing and Finance Authority (CHFA) to support the development of the MoJo Bootcamp program, including the training curriculum and teaching costs. This new micro-grant campaign is focused on the hardware each journalist needs to succeed — the smartphone gimbal, wireless microphones, and portable battery pack — as well as specialized tutorials that ensure best practices in mobile reporting.

What Your Gift Supports

Each MoJo Media Kit includes:

• A smartphone gimbal for steady video capture

• Wireless lavalier microphones (2) for clear audio

• A portable battery pack for extended use in the field

Your donation is doubled in impact:

• 50% goes directly to technology (the media kits)

• 50% goes to training participants through our MoJo Bootcamp program

Why It Matters

The MoJo Bootcamp is building a network of citizen journalists in Pueblo who will capture stories from the sidewalks, schools, and neighborhoods that rarely make it into traditional media. By combining mobile technology with professional training, we are:

• Empowering youth to develop media skills

• Expanding civic engagement in underrepresented communities

• Creating a sustainable local news model for the future

Call to Action

Every $500 raised equips and trains one MoJo journalist. Join us in giving Pueblo the power to tell its own story.
