I had a blast this past spring helping bring Real Talk: Safety & Success to life with some really awesome middle and high school students!
The Awareness Pillar for our Safety First, Success Always initiative began with a focus on public service announcements, which consistently feature student voices. However, our office and the school districts wanted to start a platform for students, by students, which is how Real Talk: Safety & Success was born.
For this new Awareness Pillar campaign, I am taking our office's podcast equipment on the road to mic up students from all four county school districts. The platform allows hosts and guests to have open conversations about important issues impacting their peers, schools, and communities.
I work closely with the student hosts and guests as I film and produce the podcast, and I have seen firsthand how rewarding the experience has been for both the students and our initiative team.
We are excited to continue this campaign during the upcoming school year. Our goal is to increase audience reach while maintaining our current production schedule of eight episodes per school year. By continuing to create opportunities for students to lead open conversations on important issues, Real Talk: Safety & Success will remain a valuable and impactful platform for our schools and communities throughout the circuit.
Listen to Real Talk: Safety & Success on Spotify, Apple, or wherever you get your podcasts!
