Generation Listen is a volunteer community of young listeners and the young at heart! We are committed to serving and representing members from all over the St. Louis region and hope to engage new listeners and members.
We believe a great story can change our day, connect our lives, and broaden our world. We’re interested in preserving and reinvigorating the spirit of public radio. We are a community of public radio members who share a passion for creating a more informed and civically engaged public.

"As a lifelong St. Louisan I'm passionate about not just living in St. Louis, but really taking part in it. I actively seek out what I can do to support local organizations and businesses that keep our city thriving - Generation Listen is the perfect way for me to support both public radio, and my city."

Leadership Council Activities
Members of the Generation Listen Leadership Council attend station events and monthly council meetings, promote the station to reach new audiences, and host an annual fundraising and awareness event, called MetroQuest.
Leadership Council Requirements
- Sustaining membership to support STLPR
- Fulfill a 3-year term
- Attend a minimum of 1/2 of the events throughout the year (about one per quarter)
In order to support these duties, members focus on one of three initiatives of the council:
MetroQuest
The MetroQuest committee hosts an annual bar crawl/trivia hunt at different neighborhoods across St. Louis. This event helps people get to know the neighborhood and to spread awareness about STLPR. As a committee member, we help secure event locations, write the trivia, secure sponsorships, and many other event duties.
Digital Marketing
The digital marketing committee maintains a clear Generation Listen brand and online presence. We aim to increase awareness and interest of our council, encourage engagement and growth of our digital audience, and promote attendance to all Generation Listen events.
Promotions
The promotions committee plans which events Generation Listen is going to have an organized presence at and helps to get the word out about those opportunities, recruiting council members to be there and sharing those plans.
"I listen to St. Louis Public Radio every day to stay informed about local, national and world news. Volunteering through the Generation Listen Council is such a fulfilling (and exciting!) way to give back to this vital resource for our community."

Other Ways to Get Involved
Can’t commit to being on the council? Don’t worry—there are many opportunities to support our mission and the station. We’re always looking for volunteers for our street team at fairs, festivals, and other events around town.
