Youth Programs

Our Youth Programs offer children and teens the chance to spend their summers and after school time learning all about media production! These programs are geared toward young adults interested in the field of radio and television broadcasting as well as sound recording technology and news production. Not only is it fun but it can also be fantastic training for the future. Our programs are generally offered through Newburyport Youth Services. When we have programs running, they will available online at NYS.

Individual membership is available to those age 15+ with parent/guardian signature. Internships are also available for young people who are interested in audio/video production, news production, or sports broadcasting who are self-motivated with initiative and a desire to learn.
