Listen Up Youth Radio

Listen Up Youth Radio is a Twin Cities-based social enterprise, worker-self-directed non-profit, working at the intersection of youth employment, civic engagement, and media production.

Listen Up provides youth paid training in audio production, storytelling, and media literacy while offering services to clients. We use a media justice framework to address the country's lack of: 1) Opportunities for young people to access and learn radio broadcasting skills, 2) Representation of youth particularly BIPOC, LGBTQ2S, low income, or female youth in media, & 3) Robust or relevant experiences for youth to practice collective leadership and dialogue.
