Youth Action Talks

Vulnerable and light-hearted, unfiltered and relatable, our first episode shares a soulful and intimate view into the world of loneliness and isolation for us teenagers. With free-spirited laughs and moments of bonding sprinkled throughout, we talk of all that is good and bad in being alone. From personal stories to helpful resources, this is a little gift from us, confused, yet hopeful teenagers to you. Grab a snack, get cozy, and press play.

Welcome to Youth Action Talks, the podcast where teens talk about teen issues. We’re high school students from Irvine on the Youth Action Team, a City of Irvine program that strives to creatively respond to the needs and interests of teens in our community. Through this podcast, we want to address issues that we as teens, friends, and students deal with - in a safe, comfortable, and relatable space. In this episode, we introduce our co-hosts and introduce what our podcast is about. Hang out with us every month as we share personal experiences, interview professionals, and talk about tangible resources to go on your own mental health and wellness journey.
