The Andy Zanca Youth Empowerment Program operates as a community broadcasting organization based in the Roaring Fork Valley, serving as the broadcast partner for KDNK Community Radio. This nonprofit entity provides middle and high school students with professional training in audio production and public speaking. Key recurring formats include the public affairs podcast The Ripple Effect and the CARE Adoptable Pet of the Week series, which assists Colorado Animal Rescue in local pet placement. Recent activity includes the NoiseFloor concert series at Steve’s Guitars, a live music initiative that provides a professional venue for local youth bands. The organization integrates classroom projects into FM programming, such as the Inventing for Good series with Basalt Elementary and food systems analysis with Carbondale Middle School. By coordinating live events like the Vinyl Vault at Marble Distillery and Music Trivia nights, this program enables local youth to manage public engagement and develop technical broadcasting skills in real-world environments.
