This Labor Day, join SLB Radio<\/a> in celebrating Pittsburgh\u2019s rich labor history and the future of the workforce with Streaming Labor, a 100% teen hosted live-show featuring local music and conversation. Teens can sign up to be a host at tinyurl.com\/Streaminglabor<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Students in Grades 6 to 12 are invited to sign up for a spot as a co-host. With a different group of four or five co-hosts for each hour, your teens will have peers to lean on and learn with throughout the discussion.\u00a0<\/p>\n

No previous radio experience is required or expected. Hosts will be sorted into groups based on their availability for a two-hour block.<\/p>\n

In the first hour, they\u2019ll work with the help of an SLB staff educator to plan their hour-long broadcast, choosing topics related to the future of the workforce, how AI might change different fields, union history in Pittsburgh and in some cases their own experiences working as teens with jobs. <\/p>\n

In the second hour, they\u2019ll broadcast live on youthexpress.org<\/a> and discuss these topics in-between playing music from local artists and sharing pre-recorded projects from other students. Staff educators will be available to help every step of the way.<\/p>\n

All participants will receive a $25 stipend. The only requirement, besides a genuine interest, is being registered for SLB\u2019s after school program, which is free and easy for parents to do online with our Registration Form<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Streaming Labor is a part of SLB Radio\u2019s series of teen-hosted live show events, and is similar in scope to our long-running MLK Day program, Streaming Justice.<\/a> Stay up-to-date with SLB Radio by signing up for our newsletter at slbradio.org\/subscribe<\/a>.<\/p>\n
