(Washington, DC) This month on "Keeping It Real," teens talk with Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton about the District’s College Access Act, University of the District of Columbia admissions administrators and the recently crowned Ms. Teen DC.  The 30-minute show focuses on topics for and about city youth. 

With college admissions deadlines looming, the show provides an in-depth look at the DC Tuition Assistance Grant, the District’s public university and motivating local high school students to apply for college.  A former star of the acclaimed television show The Apprentice will appear in a segment featuring winners of the Miss Teen District of Columbia and Miss District of Columbia -- USA pageants.

Keeping It Real is produced by youth from the Department of Employment Services' Youth Opportunity Program.  The show is cablecast on City Cable 16 on Fridays at 5:30 pm and Saturdays at 12 pm and 8 pm.  The show can be viewed “on demand” through the Office of Cable Television’s website.
