Radio Uprising!

Radio Uprising is CMP's exciting new program that gives youth producers the opportunity to express themselves creatively via the airwaves. Radio Uprising gives youth the opportunity to engage in politics, social action, and become more involved in their community via independent and grassroots media production. Youth explore the media as a public platform for community dialogue, giving them the chance to break the barriers between youth and civilization, while reclaiming the power of the media.
