Up to $100,000 in funding is available to eligible applicants to deliver youth-led radio and podcasting initiatives as part of the NSW Government’s Regional Youth Radio Program.

The funding will support new projects enabling young people living in regional NSW to lead and participate in youth radio and podcasting activities such as training and skills development, program or content creation, essential equipment and minor capital works to support youth radio, broadcasting and podcasting programs.

The Regional Youth Radio Program aims to increase young people’s participation in activities that strengthen their opportunities to have a voice, as well as their connection and belonging to their communities.

The Regional Youth Radio Program is an initiative of the Office of Regional Youth, administered by the Department of Communities and Justice.
