Over the past 22 years, our program has continued to provide transformational experiences for over 3,000 local youth, providing them with access to media education, broadcast journalism, technical training and production activities. While public schools struggle to provide education in the creative arts, technology, and communication, AZYEP develops communication skills, technical skills, creativity and professionalism. Most importantly, AZYEP develops self-confidence by engaging our youth, ages 8 to 18, in local and global issues, weekly live broadcasts, community interview projects, and relevant journalism. AZYEP positively impacts young peoples’ sense of self importance, voice, and their vital role in civic society. AZYEP helps young people cultivate the confidence, strength, and voice needed to engage successfully through adolescence and beyond. Since 2000, AZYEP has provided quality media education and youth broadcasting. Our program strengthens life skills, motivates high school graduation, supports higher education goals and prepares participants for careers in the 21st century.
