There are several ways you can help!
Post your stories in text or video.
Encourage your friends to post their stories. The more good posting the better.
Be a reporter and interview others on video (FLIP video, Webcam, whatever you have). Could be anybody with an interesting story, unusual path, entertaining experiences, etc. The only requirements are: a) that you have posted at least five of your own video clips at TDM that have been approved for publishing, and b) review our Reporter Guide that have tips for doing good interviews, c) accept our Interviewer Agreement, and d) Email us about your interest and the types of interviews you'd like to do. Also what type of Webcam or digital video camera would you be using. Include your full contact information (name, address, phone, email). Fill out your full contact information.
Be an editor. Help us preview and rate others’ postings, titles and categorizations, and pick out the best ones for different audiences. Prerequisite: Have posted five or more of your own stories and have interviewed five or more other people. Then email us.

NavigatingTheRealWorld.org is produced by Navigating the Real World, Inc., a Portland, Maine, based nonprofit 501(c)3 organization that will launch the companion publication, Navigating The Real World, in high schools all across Maine in Spring 2010. Our purpose is to gather and publish information and perspectives to help people in their teens and 20s navigate important life decisions and challenges - and to have some fun while we are doing this! Over the coming year we will roll out a range of new offerings using social media and other communication and information technology.
