GNV4all Community Podcast

GNV4ALL Executive Executive James F. Lawrence talks with urban planner Terry Clark about the 10,000 mile trip to Alaska that he and his wife Susie are taking on a motorbike to Alaska. Clarke and Susie hope to raise $10,000 for Gainesville for All's Family Learning Center project on the campus of Metcalfe Elementary School. Supporters can donate as little as 1 cent per mile or a lump sum. The school seeks to begin narrowing the academic achievement gap between Black and White students in Alachua County.
