The Challenge

We need our community’s help to keep the sound “up” on youth voices.

2023 was a challenging year for most nonprofits. Youth Radio was particularly hard hit by post-pandemic disinvestment in Diversity Equity Inclusion and Belonging funding as well as delayed government payments.

This impacts our ability to support our youth journalists and media makers.

Our survival is particularly critical during an election year when next-generation perspectives need to be heard. 

This is why we need to raise $300,000 in 30 days.
