Activity 3

Digital media and technology education youth radio educates low-income 14-24 year olds in media and technology. Youth radio students engaged in six months of intensive media and technical education and on-the-job training. In the first three months of training, students surveyed journalism, music production, and multimedia skills. Students who advanced to the second three months of training focused on a single track for the session, and graduated with a final project and a polished resume. When students complete six months of training, they are eligible for paid internships within one of youth radio's programs and departments. Interns worked alongside industry professionals to polish their skill sets in production, tech and engineering, or administration. Working together, they developed team and professional communication skills. Interns are hired through a competitive application process and complete either a three- or six-month apprenticeship. In 2012, youth radio educated more than 250 young people, and provided more than 250 paid internships.
