Program Introduction

The current world, including the effects of the pandemic (social distancing and isolation) has had a serious negative impact on mental health.

World Youth Radio is affiliated with a research project led by Prof Zhang Weiguo at the Sociology department, University of Toronto, named “Social support of Chinese elders to cope with COVID-19”. We have a significant number of high school volunteers that have recorded audio books to accompany socially-isolated elders with support and care.

We now offer professional training to youth, as result of the positive benefits of this study. Our students experience live-hosting, DJing, producing, recording and editing their radio content. The courses enhance their hands-on skills, collaboration, leadership and creativity.

Soon, our site will feature talk shows about health, art, sports, travel, and public affairs, all recorded and produced by our students.

Our Vision for The Future

Integrate youth into a harmonious and mutually supportive social community.
Actively develop an emotional connection to social care among youth.
Eventually our programs will establish and reinforce social care at all levels for the elderly, those with disabilities, children's hospitals and psychiatric rehabilitation centers.
