TESTIMONIALS
[testimonial name="Emily Louise Chan" about="Youth of the Month Producer, 2010-2011 Currently a Journalism and Human Rights student at Carleton University and the leader of the Ottawa Me to We Mobilizers" url="www.dearworldfromgirl.blogspot.com" image="http://y57.ca/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/emilylouisechan.jpg"]Y57 has been an absolutely incredible experience for me. It has given me invaluable radio and volunteer experience, and more importantly, it has connected me to some truly inspirational youth in my community, who am now proud to call friends.[/testimonial]
[testimonial name="Rachel Ha" about="Youth of the Month Producer, 2009-2010. Currently studying for her Bachelors of Commerce at Queen's University" url="http://missrachelha.tumblr.com" image="http://johndoe.com/link-to-an-image.jpg"]Even though I had considered myself to be very active in the community before I joined Y57, none of those experiences compared to working with the Y57 team. I learned a lot about what incredible power the Vancouver youth community has, and it has really made me appreciate and take pride in being a Vancouverite. Each show was an exciting challenge. The feeling of being on air and knowing your voice is being heard by so many youth out there just takes your breath away. [/testimonial]
[testimonial name="Amanda Panes" about="Feature Story Producer, 2009-2010. Currently a Promotions Assistant and Fun Finder Reporter at 93.7 JRfm & 100.5 The Peak" url="www.themodline.com" image="http://y57.ca/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/amandapanes.jpg"]At Y57 I was able to practice what I was learning in the Radio program at BCIT not only in studio but behind the scenes when producing features. I enjoyed how I got to share what I learned with the team and give back to my community. Y57 has given me lots of team building and team work experience as well as radio on air and production experience.[/testimonial]
[testimonial name="Reena Gacad" about="Feature Story Producer and Co-host, 2009-2010. Currently an Account Coordinator at High Roads Communications" url="www.linkedin.com/in/reenagacad" image="http://johndoe.com/link-to-an-image.jpg"]Y57 is a place to share amazing youth stories to a public who, in some instances, have become pessimistic with us millenials. The program has helped me to develop my broadcast journalism skills, like story production and interview skills, in addition to building relationships with like minded individuals who believe in the powerful influence of youth. I can truly say that Y57 has given me invaluable experience that has helped me get to where I want to be.[/testimonial] -
