WTIP - Youth Radio Project
Area youth will be trained to create, perform and exhibit artistic works that showcase their perspectives and ideas, including feature essays, interviews, and music programming. The Youth Radio Project will produce a weekly one hour program that showcases their work, and youth features will air on WTIP’s daily calendar programs. Youth projects will also be archived on WTIP’s website and offered to state and national radio stations through PRX.
