Consider the world of teenagers in the United States. Teens are talked
about, studied, marketed to, worried over, and blamed for almost everything.
They are usually asked for their thoughts only in times of crisis or
when there is money to be made from them.
Teenagers actually have a lot to say, and they want to be heard. Now
there is a vibrant movement underway to give young people unmediated
access to the airwaves. Currently there are close to 100 programs working
with high school-age youth and training them in the art and technique
of producing radio. Teenagers are writing and reporting the news, creating audio theater, crafting features and documentaries, telling stories, playing music, and much more.
The Community Radio Youth web site provides information about NFCB's
National Youth in Radio Training Project, Let
a Thousand Voices Speak, the NFCB youth manual, and Get
Set to Stream!, the NFCB Streaming Manual which was written
specifically for youth programs.
