DESCRIPTION:Several years ago, Alameda County Supervisor Keith Carson made a commitment 
 to support innovative youth media organizations in Alameda County that 
 empower youth to create positive and uplifting stories and train them for 
 21st-century jobs in media, technology and communications. This inaugural 
 awards event will serve as a funding vehicle to benefit three organizations 
 that have a local, national and global impact: Youth Radio, KDOL Media 
 Enterprise Alliance, and United Roots. Through  partnership with these 
 three community-based organizations, Supervisor Carson aims to spark 
 critical youth engagement and raise awareness about the incredible young 
 talent emerging from the East Bay.\n\nThe East Bay Youth Media Awards will 
 honor the innovative contributions of young leaders ages 13 to 25 in the 
 fields of print journalism, radio, video production and digital media. 
 Numerous instructional classes, after-school programs and nonprofit 
 organizations in the East Bay offer youth in-depth training in reporting 
 and media production. Youth will be nominated by their peers and industry 
 professionals to receive awards in various media categories.\n\nSupervisor 
 Keith Carson's key goal is to support Youth Radio, KDOL Media Enterprise 
 Alliance, and United Roots in offering activities for youth in a safe space 
 that encourages creativity, self-expression, critical thinking, and 
 21st-century skill-building for self-sufficiency. \n\nProceeds to 
 Benefit:\n\nYouth Radio, a nationally recognized media program established 
 over 20 years ago and recently celebrated by the White House as a recipient 
 of a 2012 National Arts and Humanities Youth Program Award. \n\nKDOL Media 
 Enterprise Alliance, an Oakland school-based program serving hundreds of 
 inner-city youth with the assistance of local media 
 personalities.\n\nUnited Roots, a grassroots urban media and arts 
 organization with comprehensive education and training programs for urban 
 youth.\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2015/07/16/18774994.php
