Starting in the 2025–26 school year, a groundbreaking educational partnership will launch in Miami, combining innovation, entrepreneurship, and student empowerment. Strive305, SLAM Miami, and Community Newspapers are joining forces on a project that’s sure to make both Pitbull and Mayor Daniella Levine Cava proud.
At the heart of the collaboration is the creation of entrepreneurial audio content produced by Strive305 Ambassadors and distributed via SLAM Radio—America’s only satellite radio station operated entirely by middle and high school students. Broadcast nationwide to an audience of over 35 million, SLAM Radio is based on the SLAM Miami campus and led by veteran broadcaster Larry “The Amigo” Milian.
With new Principal Carlos O. Alvarez at the helm, SLAM Miami is doubling down on its entrepreneurial roots. The school, originally founded with the support of Pitbull to uplift his home community, now aims to reignite the spirit of innovation across its student body.
That’s where Strive305 steps in. Widely recognized as the HUB for local entrepreneurs, Strive305hub.com which recently expanded.
In this partnership, Strive305 Ambassadors will work alongside media veterans Grant and Michael Miller at the Community Newspapers studio to produce original shows focused on entrepreneurship and civic engagement. But this isn’t just a behind-the-scenes learning experience—there’s a live component, too. Miami-Dade County leaders—including Mayor Daniella Levine Cava, county commissioners, and department directors—will be invited to appear on-air for interviews conducted live by students. This gives young people an unprecedented opportunity to engage with decision-makers and gain first-hand experience in journalism, public speaking, and civic awareness.
The program is being finalized now and is on track to debut with the new school year. Organizers are also working toward a high-profile kickoff event that could include appearances by Pitbull and Mayor Levine Cava, reinforcing the deep local roots and community pride embedded in the initiative.
What makes this partnership particularly powerful is the alignment of mission across all the players involved. SLAM Miami provides a platform for student-driven media, Community Newspapers brings journalistic mentorship, and Strive305 supplies the energy and drive of its Ambassadors. Together, they are creating something bigger than the sum of its parts—a pipeline for future entrepreneurs, community leaders, and changemakers.
This initiative is more than an educational program; it’s a model of collaboration, empowerment, and opportunity. It’s a testament to what can happen when schools, institutions, and community leaders come together with a shared vision: to invest in the future of Miami by investing in its students.
Because when we all work together, great things truly are possible.
