Red River Radio has maintained an ongoing programming of working with interns who are interested in broadcasting.  These interns learn the basics of radio and broadcast production, through the creation of projects intended for airing on Red River Radio.

Red River Radio began a collaboration with the Louisiana School for Math, Sciences and the Arts where High School students attended a residency by our news producer for the purpose of gaining an understanding of radio and broadcast production.   The creation of a 7 minute feature piece was the result of this collaboration.

Red River Radio participated in one job fair, held on the campus of Louisiana State University Shreveport during the past year.
