This project is primarily designed to allow youth in all disciplines, of all sexual orientations and interests, to have a safe place to express themselves and be part of a Yukon-wide community. All workshops and skills learned are transferable to any future job that youth may apply for. This proposal will also share how community engagement can promote healthy living and lifestyles. The project is entertainment, education, Yukon-wide engagement community support and above all, a unique voice for youth. Youth guests who take part in the project will learn how to broadcast, live-cast, podcast, and gain confidence of who they are at any stage of their life.
