State Partnership Academies are a collaborative effort between the California State Department of Education which provides basic program funding and guidelines, a local school district, which provides instructors, a site, necessary instructional materials, and a specific industry which provides mentors, summer jobs for students, site tours, an advisory board, and other assistance. For example, Media Academy students work at media sites during the summer, meet with professional journalist in a variety of situations, have professional mentors, visit media sites, and take part professional journalism events, such as the Freedom Forum sponsors, as invited guests.
