Project Description

With support from the California Arts Council, YR Media will expand our current dynamic media arts programming, powered by young journalists and artists who create multimedia content for this generation, to reach more young people in the Bay Area.

Organization Summary

YR Media (formerly Youth Radio) is an Oakland-based, youth-run national network of young journalists and artists who create news and arts content that changes lives and transforms conversations. At our Oakland, CA headquarters, we engage youth ages 14-24 in media and technology training, paid career-track employment, and wraparound support services. Youth advance from training to paid internships, producing content alongside professionals in our Peabody Award-winning newsroom. Their stories are distributed via YR Media’s owner-operated platform to a national audience of culturally engaged, civically curious young people under 30.
