Take a Look atYouth Media Project
Youth Media Project's 2009 - 2010 season yielded an expansion of partnerships, local to international projects and youth productions. We worked within 10 distinct educational settings, offered classroom, afterschool and summer intensives, conducted on-going trainings (in tandem with teachers) to over 400 students, and produced 23 youth-generated radio broadcasts, resulting in additional broadcasts and internet distribution. Our educational programs, professional development, after-school production team and listening parties will start up in September, so stay tuned!

We Want to Hear from YOU
The Youth Media Project wants to represent your voice, ideas, questions and concerns. We tackle hard subjects, like suicide, substance abuse and loss; personal topics, like love, identity, and family; investigative topics such as media and culture, environmental and economic sustainability, and then there's always room to feature local talent, actors, spoken word and YES! music. There are multiple ways to get involved; through classes, volunteerism, after-school programs, field recording, the list goes on. We believe youth can have impact in social change and policy-making. We invite you to participate.
IF YOU HAVE AN IDEA AND WANT TO EXPRESS IT - FILL OUT THE CONTACT FORM AND WE'LL GET IN TOUCH WITH YOU.
