Radio Arte trains, motivates and encourages youth to develop self-expression through the broadcast medium. It provides a forum for young people to be creative and responsible broadcasters to the largest Mexican community in the Midwest. Arte's unique two-year training program is divided into three phases. Phase one is an intensive three-month theory course that focuses on creative writing, journalism, voice training, FCC regulations, and the use and challenges of recording sound for radio.
Students also begin to learn how to develop a radio program.
T hrough their involvement in Radio Arte, students become aware of community issues and develop decision-making and leadership skills, while also gaining a greater commitment to their community and to civic society in general. By showcasing students' innovative programs and segments, Radio Arte strives to counteract the negative stereotypes frequently associated with the young people of our community.
