heart of its pioneering efforts is to train young people from under-resourced public schools,
community-based organizations, group homes and juvenile detention centers in broadcast
journalism, media production and cutting-edge technology. Youth Radio offers professional
development and technical skills training absolutely free of charge with the aim of preparing
young people for pathways to meaningful careers. Address: 1701 Broadway, Oakland CA
