Youth Radio
POWER 88.3 is a ‘for youth by youth’ community radio project giving taiohi groups a learning experience of a life time! Through this medium we train taiohi to set up, programme and run a youth focused low frequency community radio station. Participants will complete a 12-week programme and will be provided with a further 12-weeks support and mentoring continuing as a volunteer with the radio station. This will further increase their skills, capabilities and resilience, and provide valuable work experience and future employment potential.
