Andy Zanca Youth Empowerment Program

We also teach an acreditted high school radio broadcasting class, which is available to students from seven area schools. AZYEP also partners with local teachers to bring their curriculum to life by broadcasting students grades 3 - 8 talking about what they are learning and/or sharing original writing and dramas. This transformational program helps students develop leadership skills, multicultural relationships and increase their self-esteem. Many students report that broadcasting on the radio is the first time they really feel like they are heard by the larger community. As a bonus, listeners get to hear candid conversations between young people ages 8 - 21.
