The Youth Radio Network

Who we are

The Youth Radio Network’s vision is to empower, teach and entertain young people, aged 13 to 25 years, through the power of music and digital technology, opening doors to the broadcast industries, and to become more employable helping them to get the best start in life.

The Youth Radio Network is a digital place where young people can easily access and develop their skills and interests. It acts as a sounding board for youth news and issues and promotes all youth organizations. The Youth Radio Network's focus is on young people, and topical issues such as Bullying, Racism, LGBT and much more.

Our music is generally chart music, and we play any young artists/bands from across the world. The aim is to have a fresh and upbeat sound and something that young people feel; they can get involved in and we encourage our young people to influence the music we play.  There are also opportunities for our listeners to interact with radio programmes. We will highlight any young musicians, artists or bands, after all, it’s the internet and you never know who may be discovered next!

The Youth Radio Network is completely digital so anyone can present for us from any location!  We also want to help young people ages 16 to 25 years old get into employment and we hope that we can help open many doors for young people looking for a career in the broadcasting industries.

The Youth Radio Network is a diverse community of young people and is committed to equality of opportunity for all by providing a supportive, flexible, inclusive and fun environment. We promote gender equality and we are committed to having an inclusive culture which supports and encourages anyone with an interest in our work.

We work with all our volunteers to understand their skill sets, needs and aspirations for the future (whatever that may be).  All volunteers are required to agree to certain terms and conditions and we provide ongoing personal and professional development to help our volunteers with their goals.
