About Us
Quest Youth Radio Over 45 Years Strong
Quest Youth Radio (QYR) is a media training program for high school and college students. Developed by community activist and Quest Ink founders, Cliff and Joyce Carter, as part of their outreach programs to help rebuild Newark, NJ, after the Riots. The program is designed to provide young people with alternatives and support in their continuing education. Our Team Members have gone on to become business owners, educators, community leaders, and more.
Quest Community Vibrations Radio Show is produced by Quest Youth Radio. Broadcasting from Seton Hall University's "Pirate Radio" 89.5 FM in South Orange, NJ since 1978.
Mr. Richard Barnes-Bey is an educator and community activist. The Newark, NJ native is a graduate of Seton Hall University and has been facilitating the radio program for 30+ years.
Newark Native Tracey Wingfield has been a QYR alumna for over 20 years. A community educator and activist who brings intellectual Property Management skills to the team.
Shelton Harris, a 30-year public school teacher, is an avid music lover with a Master's in Education.
Did You Know? Quest Youth Radio was one of the first radio shows to play hip-hop in New Jersey.
Over the years, the show has become more diverse, including R&B and Jazz in its playlist. And while some things change...greatness remains. The segments used by students today are the same segments designed by Mr. Carter over 45 years ago. The segments allow students to present structured information about persons or events that affect their community. Overall students gain skills in broadcasting, writing, public speaking, marketing, and more.
We are currently accepting broadcast students and "Correspondents" for training (those who are unable to come to the studio). Correspondents can submit footage, interviews, and pictures to be a part of the Quest Youth Radio experience. All participants must go through broadcast training.
We look forward to hearing from you.
