At Youth Radio aka YR Media, we provide young people with the skills, resources, paid opportunities and platforms to amplify their voices and tell their stories. But to keep our programs alive and thriving, we need your support.
We need to raise $300,000 in 30 days to ensure that the next generation of journalists and media makers can continue to learn, grow, and share their unique perspectives.

Together, we can provide the critical training, supports and opportunities they need. Every dollar helps!

YR Media and the social innovation hub Hopelab partner for Q***r Connections: A series highlighting how content creators cultivate q***r joy. Over the next month, YR will feature media makers in tell-all interviews and an episode of our award-winning podcast Adult ISH. https://yr.media/q***r-connections/
