Young Broadcasters of America (YBA) is a business in Natick, MA that runs camps, workshops, and classes which allow local area children the opportunity to host and produce television programs. It was founded by current owner Jimmy Young in 2008 under the name "Young Sportscasters of America", but changed its name to Young Broadcasters of America in 2009 to be more inclusive to children with different interests. [1] Their primary program, hosted and produced by children ages 10 to 17, is known as Back Talk which runs a live show on Ustream every Sunday and covers a variety of topics in a news style format.[2]

History

Jimmy Young had the idea to found the company in the fall of 2007, while he was working for the Boston Globe. Within a year, he had a plan, a location at the corner of Speen St. and Pond St. in Natick, and all equipment necessary to train children ages 10 to 17 in all facets of television broadcasting. Young opened it under the name as Young Sportscasters of America (later changed to Young Broadcasters of America in June 2009, to reflect interest and instruction in other areas of broadcast media, including entertainment and weather) on October 5, 2008.[3]

YBA’s stated mission: "Use a fun, interactive and educational learning environment to provide invaluable, transferable, oral communication training to a generation of young people more comfortable using text messages, e-mails and Google chat as their primary means of communication. At YBA, the techniques taught and the skills cultivated breed dramatic improvement in poise, confidence, self-esteem, and proper use of the English language – abilities that will serve the students well in any walk of life that they might choose."[4]
