Watch: Inside CJ's Press Pass, a mentorship program for high school journalists

Roughly 20 high school students from around the Portland area were given the opportunity of a lifetime at the Trail Blazers game against the Atlanta Hawks on Monday.

For the second year in a row, Portland guard CJ McCollum launched his journalism mentorship program called CJ's Press Pass.

The students attended the Trail Blazers' game Monday where they got a tour of the arena and had a chance to sit in on a postgame press conference for a question and answer session with McCollum, teammate Damian Lillard and Blazers assistant coach David Vanterpool.

McCollum was a journalism major at Lehigh University and hopes to be in sports media in the future.

In the video above, take a look inside CJ's Press Pass and watch students ask questions during their postgame press conference with McCollum.
