More than Media…
          Youth Radio is committed to improving the lives of young people in every way… 

In order to assist all Youth Radio participants in meeting their goals and achieving their full potential, Youth Radio offers a wide array of support services.

Mental Health: Youth Radio’s young people may be facing numerous challenges, including community violence, familial incarceration, marginal or nonexistent housing, dating violence and domestic violence, or lack of adequate food resources. Youth Radio’s health department provides case management services to every young person, including providing access to basic resources, creating linkages with appropriate social service programs, and acting as youth advocates in the education and juvenile justice systems. Through counseling and referrals to other service providers, Youth Radio also offers therapy services to those youth who request or are recommended for the service. Consider a donation to our directed giving program Youth Radio Cares which funds these services.

Academic Guidance: Youth Radio offers free academic counseling. More than 85% of Youth Radio participants continue on to college, many representing the first college attendee in their families. Youth Radio’s academic advisors provide one-on-one and group counseling to all youth free of charge, assisting students to fulfill high school graduation requirements, apply to two- and four-year colleges, and secure financial aid.

Help Youth Radio continue to provide young people with support through directed giving. Youth Radio Cares directly funds all mental health and case management services. Youth Radio Graduates supports our academic advising program. Learn more about our other directed giving opportunities here.
