Our mission at Listen Up! is to encourage and help get 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.
