Beasley Media Group announces that New 1037, Kiss 95.1, K104.7, 97.9 WPEG, 101.9 WBAV and 94.7 Smoke recently partnered with local Teen Health Connection to host the Youth to Youth Southern States Conference Extreme Skill Workshop. The event took place on Tuesday, July 18 in Charlotte. The workshop was for teens ages 10-17 from across the Carolinas who are promoting a drug-free lifestyle. Krista Stout and Chele Fassig from Beasley in Charlotte hosted a session entitled "Social Impact of Local Radio on Youth" with the group.

The goal of the all day workshop was to teach the teens how local radio is combining social media into the radio stations and therefore, has the unique power to enhance and strengthen community participation and create a positive message to help with cyberbullying, self-esteem, while encouraging others to participate in their communities to make a difference.

"Youth have the power to influence positive change," said Beasley Media Charlotte Promotions Director Chele Fassig. "We in the radio industry have the unique opportunity to be able to share creative skill-building opportunities with our youth and generate positive communication by being influential role models in their lives."
