Founded in 1992 in Berkeley during a period of heightened youth violence and homicide, YR Media (formerly, Youth Radio) was established as an outlet for Bay Area youth to process their experiences and provide an alternative perspective to the prevailing media dialogue. YR Media is an award-winning media production company that trains diverse young people in digital media and technology. Partnering with industry professionals, students learn to produce marketable media for massive audiences while bringing youth perspectives to issues of public concern. Our mission is to launch young people on career and education pathways by engaging them in work-based learning opportunities, creative expression, professional development, and health and academic support services. YR Media operates bureaus in Los Angeles, Atlanta, and Washington, DC.
1 employee at YR Media has reviewed YR Media across various culture dimensions, providing their opinions on items ranging from executive ratings to the pace at work. The latest review was months ago.
They empower me as a worker and give me creative autonomy. I'm proud to say I work for a collaborative community. While I'm given grace when I make mistakes, I'm also held accountable for doing my best. Working here makes me want to be a better person and artist.
I know I get more than other non-profits, particularly an understanding when it comes to protecting my mental health. I appreciate how our company acknowledges days to take care of this as sick days.
We're a collaborative group of people who genuinely listen to each other and incorporate feedback to make our process and products better.
