"YMC has been awarded by Rock the Vote, MediaRights.org and the Alliance for Community Media, and helped to build national networks such as the Media & Democracy Coalition, Media Action Grassroots Network (MAG-Net), the Media Justice Network, the Progressive Communicators Network (PCN), and the Katrina Information Network (KIN).
