Radio PSAs

Dover Youth to Youth has been making radio spots on alcohol, tobacco and drug issues (called Public Service Announcements or PSAs) since 1998.

PSA Creation

Through 2013, Y2Y had created 70+ original radio PSAs and these are played throughout New Hampshire on a variety of radio stations. We often purchase air time but more often they are played as a public service. Ideas for PSAs come from a variety of locations.  The Dover Coalition or other organization may request an ad on anything from making parents aware of alcohol in the home to second hand smoke impacting pets. Often a student will come in with an idea for a PSA or a draft script.

All of our PSAs have been recorded at the studios of Radio Station WOKQ which is conveniently located in Dover.  Our students receive instruction in studio techniques, editing processes and other tips for recording in a studio.  They critique the parts as they are recorded and often re-record a part multiple times until it sounds right. Each year WOKQ and its sister stations play 100s of our radio PSAs each year.

Below are some links where you can hear some of our Radio PSA’s:
