[cma-l] Youth Broadcasts

[Tam Curry]

We run two weekly radio youth groups for 8-11yrs and 12-15yrs. Both groups
create and present their own shows during our broadcasts and they are all
enrolled in the Dynamic Youth Awards scheme.

Each group runs for 14 weeks in total (up to 8 participants), after which
point each individual is supported to take up full volunteering roles (as
adults) - our youngest presenter that has produced and presented their own
slot as an adult volunteer is nine. Much like Two Lochs, the young people
are never in the station alone, although they are supported to work
independently - there is always help at hand.

Cheers

Tam
