Youth Radio is a non-profit organization located in Berkely, California, whose focus is empowering youth through radio. Youth Radio's mission is to promote young people's intellectual, creative and professional growth through training and access to media and to produce the highest quality original media for local and national outlets. Through hands-on practice, working relationships with industry professionals, and production of award-winning programming, Youth Radio students learn the basics of broadcasting. In the process, they're exposed to a broad spectrum of media-related careers.

Youth Radio contributes to the empowerment of teenagers by giving them tools they'll need for success. Youth Radio also brings youth perspectives to the airwaves, shedding light on the concerns and interests of our young people. Check out the Youth Radio website, which includes lots of information about the programs offered, lots of samples of youth-made media, and resources for youth who are interested in getting their media published.
