Lionheart Radio
lionheartradiousa.com is an online radio station that broadcasts 24/7. Lionheart began partnering with the Ed Isakson YMCA of Alpharetta staff to assist with their broadcast in 2015, and in 2019 the YMCA donated radio equipment to Lionheart. Volunteer job coaches have been fundamental in teaching participants to operate the sound board, interview participants and guests from the community, and share a wonderfully eclectic mix of music. The Lionheart Radio broadcast empowers participants to share their voices and their stories across the airwaves.
