Youth Works! Partner: High School for Recording Arts
Featured Employer: WFNU 94.1 FM Frogtown Community Radio
For 20 years High School for Recording Arts (HSRA) has been transforming the lives of young people into life-long learners. HSRA serves nearly 300 students per semester and re-engages students who have not succeeded in a traditional school model. Through project-based learning, real-world music and media business experience, and state of the art recording studios, HSRA boasts a 70% or higher graduation rate, with college and vocational placement.
HSRA and WFNU 94.1 FM Frogtown Radio are excited to announce a new student-produced radio show called '4 tha Air' premiering February 11 and 13, 2020 at 5 p.m. on 94.1FM in Saint Paul and streaming worldwide at wfnu.org. The name '4 tha Air' is a playful nod by HSRA students to the school’s four values - family, respect, community and education, as well as the HSRA recording facility Studio 4.

By blending hot new music, news and information relevant to young people, HSRA students hope to create a community of socially and culturally conscious youth.
'4 tha Air' is procured by HRSA student interns Angelo Bush, Morgan Welch, Patricia Stone and William Williams. They script, edit, engineer and record the weekly show.
“WFNU is proud to partner with HSRA students to continue our mission of uplifting and empowering under-represented voices, giving our youth the platform to express and foster their unique talents and creativity.”
