YC Upcoming Bubbles with YC producer photos

As you grow up, you begin to know more about yourself and who you want to be when you grow up. Sometimes the thought of growing up can cause an uneasy feeling in your body, and if it puts you at ease, everyone goes through that same state of anxiety. Growing up in an era of “advanced” technology and social media can sometimes add even more pressure and stress on you, but you have an easier way of connecting. Remember to take advantage of your platforms to achieve your goals, speak for your generation, and to network with others to reach the finish line you have been waiting for. Join the Youth Channel for a week of special programming about financial accountability, internships, advocacy on LGBTQ+ communities, and climate change.

The Youth Channel airs programming every weeknight from 6-7pm on MNN4 (FiOS 36, RCN 85, Spectrum 67 & 1998) and MNNHD (Spectrum 1993). To learn about MNN’s Youth Media Center and the work they produce, click here.
