What We Do
YR Media is a leading media, technology and music training center and platform for emerging BIPOC content creators who are using their voices to change the world.
Our Mission
YR Media equips emerging content creators between the ages of 14-24, primarily BIPOC, with an immersive media arts education, top industry mentors, paid career-track employment and holistic support services including counseling and healthy food. Young people leverage these offerings to become civically engaged citizens driving systemic change and disruptors that diversify the traditional media landscape by creating stories, art and music that matter.
Our Vision
To place power in the hands of young content creators, especially those from historically underrepresented groups, and ensure their diverse voices lead the way in shaping the future of our world.
Who We Are
We produce and amplify media, music and technology content with audiences in the millions through our platforms as well as our partners. As media and music educators within our Oakland headquarters and content producers on a national level, we focus on bringing forth underrepresented perspectives. Our national network includes over 300 correspondents between the ages of 18 and 25, and we are growing every year.
What We Do
We help aspiring leaders build their career readiness skills through intensive, experiential media arts education, employment programs and holistic, wraparound services that position them to pursue careers in media, tech and creative industries and become thoughtful, civically engaged citizens.
Who We Serve
Young, majority BIPOC creatives, journalists, music producers, content creators and entrepreneurs who are leading conversations, creating change in their communities, and passionate about making a brighter future and more reflective of the diversity of this country, not just for their generation but those to come.
