Remington Youth Community Radio
(see the Youth Programming Page)
Remington Youth Community Radio Class is brought to you by Art on Purpose and GRIA. It meets every Tuesday evening from 5:30 – 7:30. This class is for youth ages 9 and up who are interested in learning about their neighborhood and documenting it through drawing, writing, photography and story telling. Students are learning how to interview and edit stories so they can make ready for radio sound pieces. If you live in Remington they may come knocking soon on your door to ask you to share a neighborhood story or ask your opinion on a community issue. If you would like more information, know a young person from Remington that would like to be involved or would like to be involved yourself….(be interviewed! help with the class! mentor a radio student! Lend your photography or audio skills! assist with class meals!) please contact RYCR program director Beth Barbush 410-322-7080 ebarbush@gmail.com

Pocket Gardens

Peter Babcox has worked and continues to work with several groups, including Remington youth and adults, local non-profit organizations, and Johns Hopkins students (among others) to create the blue pocket gardens that dot the landscape of the neighborhood. Bulbs are planted in the boxes during the fall and winter, and then when spring comes, the neighborhood blooms!
