Middle and high school students with a passion for storytelling are invited to join the Youth Summer Podcast Program, hosted by West Virginia State University Extension Service and the Positive People Association. The free, hands-on program will run from June 23 to July 29, every Tuesday and Wednesday from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. at the WVSU Economic Development Center in Charleston.

Aimed at students ages 11-18, the six-week program helps young people unleash their creativity, build confidence and develop essential podcasting skills. Participants will learn how to craft compelling stories, produce high-quality audio and share their unique voices with the world—all for free.

Spots are limited, so students are encouraged to sign up as soon as possible. To register, visit the 4-H Summer Camps tab at wvstateu.edu/4h
