Help WYSO Public Radio move to our new home!
The historic Union Schoolhouse, located at 314 Dayton St. in Yellow Springs, is currently undergoing renovations to restore its natural beauty and to create a unique space designed specifically for WYSO.
This facility will serve as WYSO’s new headquarters, housing our radio station, production studios, and staff while providing ample space for future growth. But more than that, it will serve as a place where community members will:
- Enjoy live performances from local, regional, and national artists.
- Immerse themselves in our rich history in our archives center.
- Hone their storytelling skills through hands-on audio and production training.
- Gather on the front lawn in friendship and community.
This move is only possible through a partnership with Yellow Springs resident and WYSO supporter Dave Chappelle. He owns the Union Schoolhouse building and is generously financing the renovation. For our part, we need to raise enough to purchase the broadcast equipment, office furnishings, wiring and installation, and other items necessary to complete our new space.
WYSO needed to raise $2.5M for our part of the project and, thanks to the generosity of our community, we have met this goal. But that doesn't mean you can't still support the project. Any donation of $1,000 or more gets your name on the donor wall inside the new building. Show your support of WYSO for years to come by making a contribution HERE!
TOGETHER we can keep public service journalism, music discovery, and engaged storytelling thriving in our community!
