Why Pass the Mic?

Pass the Mic is Be Loud’s teacher fellowship. It gives New Orleans educators the time, tools, and support to bring youth-led podcasting into their classrooms.

Teachers turn classrooms into radio stations, bringing learning to life.

And unlike most programs, we pay teachers for this extra work and the extra excellence they bring. Why? Because when teachers are supported and compensated, students flourish. We see it with teachers all the time.

Youth thrive in classrooms with youth voice at the center.
