Women's Initiative for Self Employment is a Bay Area non-profit which provides high-potential, lower-income women the training, resources and on-going support to start and grow their business. The business management training, technical assistance, and financial services we provide — in English and Spanish — improve the quality of life for the women we serve, their families and our communities.
Youth Radio, was founded by women. It is run by women directors or used to be.
Youth Radio trains young people in broadcast and media skills. Through hands-on practice, working relationships with industry professionals, and production of award-winning programming, Youth Radio students learn the basics of broadcasting. In the process, they are exposed to a broad spectrum of media-related careers. Youth Radio also offers training and classes at Camp Sweeney, a juvenile detention facility in San Leandro, California. To hear Camp Sweeney radio shows about Proposition 21 and incarcerated youth, visit www.youthradio.org/about/sweeney.shtml.
Poor Magazine & Poor News Network was founded by a mother/daughter team
The Youth in the Media program is an extension of POOR Magazine's Youth Mentoring program and The Po' Poets Project. Each internship includes extensive creative arts and media training as well as media activism and advocacy focused on addressing and creating media on issues affecting low- and no-income youth. PoorNewsNetwork.org is an online news service of POOR Magazine, a nonprofit arts organization dedicated to providing media access, advocacy and education to very low- and no-income adults and youth locally and globally resisting race and class oppression.
