Applications open for the 2021 Accelerator Program for YouTube and Podcasts

Young Voices is thrilled to announce the return and expansion of our Podcast Accelerator Program. Launched in 2019, this program, now dubbed simply the "Accelerator Program," will invest in rising talent in the podcasting space, on YouTube, and in other streaming platforms. 

Applications are open to people of all ages and all levels of experience through May 31st. You can pitch us a new show or work with us to improve the one you've already got. Young Voices will assign participants an online influencer as a mentor, provide participants with an equipment pack to improve the technical aspects of their show, and check in on a monthly basis through trainings and one-on-one calls to get shows off the ground.

We're excited to get this program back online! Apply today to start streaming!

Young Voices Public Relations Consultant Stephen Kent, is host of the popular Beltway Banthas podcast and Right Now, a YouTube talk show. He serves as an instructor and mentor for participants in the Accelerator Program, dedicated to making their vision a reality. He also brings in guest speakers and additional mentors who know the ropes of production, marketing, and audience building.

Let’s face it. Just about anyone can start a podcast or create a YouTube channel, but what Young Voices brings to the table with this program is a path to defining and finding success with your show. I’m excited to work with our next batch of creators and push them forward! - Stephen Kent
