KBOO’s Youth Collective Turns 10

For immediate RELEASE

Portland, Oregon—April 27, 2012—KBOO’s Youth Collective has been teaching youth skills in radio production for 10 years. Open to all youth under 21 years of age, we’ve trained over 100 individuals, and have worked with community groups such as: Outside In, Native American Youth Association, David Douglas Alternative Program, Roosevelt High School, Centennial Learning Center, and many others.

In this innovative model of participatory youth programs, the collective members are responsible for creating two radio programs aired on KBOO each month.

The public is invited to join the celebration of their 10th Anniversary at the KBOO studio, 20 SE 8th Ave. in Portland, for an evening of radio production, community engagement, and refreshments.
