We’re a program about youth ideas, youth creativity, and youth leadership in Columbus, Ohio. We believe that youth can make a difference for themselves and for their community through their voices! That is why our slogan is “Voice to empower,” because speaking out feels good and motivates change! Youth Beat airs every Monday evening at 7:30 p.m, on community radio station WCRS LP 102.1 and 98.3 FM.
