Now more than ever, the youth in our community find themselves at a crossroads. There are more choices, more paths, and more opportunities for positive and negative influence than ever before. All too often, they are left without guidance, feeling as though they are not being presented with a choice.

The basis of radio is, of course, public speaking. The art of public speaking is as old as humanity itself, and is an invaluable skill for building confidence and self-esteem for anyone who can master it, especially the youth of today.

Enter WMOC Radio. Our primary goal for establishing an Internet-based radio station for our youth is to provide students with an educational tool they can utilize to strengthen not only their academic skills, but social skills and self-esteem as well.

Through WMOC Radio, we intend to develop a three-part partnership with schools, local businesses, and the community at large that will provide parents, teachers and students extra awareness of what is happening around them. This partnership will allow students and the community a “home base” to become aware of school activities, positive extra-curricular activities, and various forms of community service.
