Our Impact
How your support makes a difference.
At Trill Voices, we believe journalism must reflect the diversity of the world it serves.
But too often, young people from underrepresented backgrounds are shut out of the media industry before they’ve even begun.
Our work changes that trajectory. We provide Gen-Z storytellers with training, mentorship, and publishing opportunities — ensuring their voices are not only heard, but amplified.
Our impact is measured in every byline, every career breakthrough, and every community enriched by fresh, authentic perspectives.

“The best part of working at Trill was the creative freedom it provided. It was my first foray into journalism outside of university, and where I began to find my voice. I remain deeply passionate about human interest stories, so I really enjoyed the opportunity Trill provided to allow me to write on such stories. I would recommend anyone interested in kickstarting their career in media to get involved!”
