Our mission at Listen Up! is to encourage a youth voice in the mass media,
one that contributes to a culture of free speech and social responsibility.
We are a youth media network of more than 70 organizations whose producers
create their own media:  tv, radio, web, photography and print.  The youth
also contribute messages for the Listen Up! "America's Youth Speak Out!"
public service campaign.
