Podcasts about youth programs

Sponsored podcast: From Chelsea to the Berkshires, these organizations do the frontline work of caring for their community when federal policy turns hostile.  When ICE raids and hostile federal policies destabilize entire communities, frontline organizations in cities and rural counties alike are answering with door-knocking, theater, wellness programs, and the slow work of building power from within. In this sponsored episode with The Culture & Community Power Fund, two Massachusetts organizations respond to the mounting pressures facing immigrant and refugee communities.  The organizations they support are responding to the moment, said Erik Takeshita, Director of The Culture & Community Power Fund. "It was already really hard work, and now it's like you have to add another layer of creativity and ingenuity to really be able to reach out to people,” said Takeshita. La Colaborativa in Chelsea turns organizing and door-knocking into power in so many ways, including policy wins, arts and wellness programming, and a full continuum of youth services. Norieliz DeJesus is the Director of Youth Programs for La Colaborativa, but she first came to the organization as a teen participant. Today, she knows many neighbors who also went through the program and work as nurses, police officers, and community leaders. She considers them part of“ the safety net that this community has created over the years.”  “It makes it easier for the community to trust when they can see that the person in those seats of power are people who lived and experienced this community,” said DeJesus, who is a member of the city council. Meanwhile on the other end of the state in Berkshire County, the team at Multicultural BRIDGE—including Gwendolyn VanSant, CEO and founding director, and Dr. Lina Polo, the physician who leads its public health programs—host culturally specific wellness days, support groups, food distribution, and coordinate the county's Community Health Improvement Plan all as ways of addressing isolation, healthcare gaps, and belonging in a predominantly white rural region. "If you treat the least healthy and the person with the least access, it's going to improve things unseen," said VanSant on the need for solidarity.  This sponsored series is created in partnership with ⁠The Culture & Community Power Fund (C&CPF)⁠, a national funders' collaborative advancing the role of culture in building identity, agency, and collective power. This series explores the cultural ecosystem—the traditions, stories, rituals, and spaces that sustain frontline communities—and what it takes to support and strengthen it. ⁠Read the complete series.⁠

On the KMOJ Morning Show, Marquita W. Stephens joins Freddie Bell and Chantel Sings to discuss her historic leadership as the first female President & CEO of Urban League Twin Cities and how the organization is responding to today's political and economic climate. She shares how Urban League Twin Cities continues to provide critical workforce services, helping individuals gain skills, secure employment, and build long-term stability. Stephens also highlights the organization's family stabilization efforts, designed to support families navigating economic uncertainty and systemic barriers. The conversation explores the importance of investing in youth development, including the need for continued funding for summer programs that create safe spaces, leadership opportunities, and pathways to success for young people.

Sandra Birchmore wanted to be a cop. She walked into the Stoughton Police Explorers program at twelve years old full of admiration for the badge, looking for belonging, looking for guidance, looking for the kind of structure her difficult childhood hadn't provided. What she found instead were predators wearing uniforms.Federal prosecutors allege that Matthew Farwell, an instructor in the program, began grooming Sandra almost immediately. By the time she was fifteen and he was twenty-seven, he had initiated a sexual relationship with her. Text messages uncovered during the investigation show him acknowledging that he took her virginity. One month later, he married his wife. The exploitation continued for nearly a decade.But Farwell wasn't the only officer involved. His twin brother William admitted to a sexual relationship with Sandra and allegedly encouraged her to record her encounters with others and send him the material. Their supervisor, Robert Devine, the man who created the Explorers program, communicated with Sandra under the alias “Marty Riggs” and engaged in sexual encounters with her while on duty. A fourth man, former animal control officer Joshua Heal, acknowledged a sexual encounter at the shelter where Sandra came to adopt a cat.The lawyer for Sandra's estate said it plainly at a hearing: these officers passed her around like she was a toy. Multiple adults inside one department exploited a vulnerable girl they met through a youth mentoring program, and not one of them reported the other. The internal affairs investigation that revealed these relationships didn't happen until 2022 — nineteen months after Sandra was found dead.At his POST Commission hearing, Devine blamed Sandra. He testified that she “pretty much lied about everything” and that she had pursued him. The Commission's thirty-page ruling found otherwise. All three officers have been permanently decertified. Only one faces a federal murder charge.This is Part 1 of a five-part series examining the life and death of Sandra Birchmore, the systems that failed her, and the federal case heading to trial in October 2026.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

In 2025, the Deaconess Foundation partnered with St. Louis nonprofit Vision for Children at Risk to launch the NextGen Grantmaking Initiative. The approach reimagines philanthropy by placing decision-making power in the hands of young people. Led by VCR's Youth Advisory Council, the initiative awarded a total of $100,000 to five local programs dedicated to community-building, housing, mental health services, and substance use intervention for young people. Alicia Selmon, a Harris Stowe State University junior, describes how she and fellow VCR Youth Advisory Council peers approached the grantmaking process. Rob Donnelly, founder and executive director of Opportunity House — one of the initiative's awardees — speaks to how NextGen Grantmakers has impacted his organization's work providing long-term housing and mental health support to queer young people ages 17-24.

I'm excited to share the 45th episode of This is Ag! featuring Chris Devers, CEO of Rancho Cielo, who is no stranger to transforming lives and communities. Rancho Cielo, a nonprofit in Salinas, California, provides at-risk youth with education, mentorship, and hands-on training in agriculture, culinary arts, automotive, and construction, giving them the tools to build practical skills and sustainable careers. Under Chris's leadership, the school has launched groundbreaking initiatives, including the first Future Farmers of America chapter at a charter school, dual enrollment with Hartnell College, and innovative projects like mobile refrigeration units for local organic farmers. Chris's approach puts students first, ensuring their foundational needs are met while connecting them to opportunities that empower them to thrive. Through stories of alumni like Ashley Soto, who went from a work crew member to running her own construction company, and Samuel, who became a hotel engineer and entrepreneur, Chris demonstrates how mentorship, opportunity, and community investment create lasting impact. This conversation highlights why investing in people with empathy, opportunity, and purpose isn't just good for individuals but also strengthens entire communities.

Every once and a while I am happy and stunned to find an educational organization that makes me feel envious at the clear impact they are making on kids' lives, and the fun they are having along the way. For me, finding inspiration in other organizations that are keeping ancestral skills alive is an important part of running your own organization. Particularly, those that serve the next generation. In this episode I chat with Neal Ritter, a co-founder of the Laughing Coyote Project, a non-profit teaching earthskills in Colorado since 2007. Neal is happily a generalist, aiming to be above average in as many skills as possible. He is known for playing capture the flag with exuberance, and laughing loudly. Most importantly, he lives with his wife and two kids (who homeschool) on a twenty acre homestead they have the privilege of caretaking.Notes:Laughing Coyote ProjectBoulder Outdoor Survival SchoolSupport the show

Send us a textHere's the story of a San Gabriel Valley nonprofit turning loss into action. Based in Covina, the Man-e Moreno Foundation was created after the death of Manuel Joseph Moreno, transforming a family tragedy into a mission to serve youth and support families affected by violence. The focus is whole-person impact—meeting physical, mental, and academic needs while strengthening community ties.At the center of its work is the 212 Training Center, a program designed to develop student-athletes through fitness, mentorship, and academic support. From speed and agility to study habits and character, the model pairs training with guidance so kids can win on the field, in the classroom, and at home.The foundation also speaks to healing and prevention. Its programs extend support to families of victims of violent crime, while leadership engages local youth and partners across the SGV. It's community work rooted in real experience—and a belief that consistent mentorship, structure, and purpose can change lives.In this episode, we dig into how a neighborhood foundation builds programs that last: fundraising, partnerships, facilities, and the day-to-day playbook that keeps kids showing up. Keywords: Man-e Moreno Foundation, 212 Training Center, Covina, San Gabriel Valley, youth mentorship, student-athlete training, victims of violent crime support, nonprofit leadership, community programs.__________Music CreditsIntroEuphoria in the San Gabriel Valley, Yone OGStingerScarlet Fire (Sting), Otis McDonald, YouTube Audio LibraryOutroEuphoria in the San Gabriel Valley, Yone OG__________________My SGV Podcast:Website: www.mysgv.netNewsletter: Beyond the MicPatreon: MySGV Podcastinfo@sgvmasterkey.com

The Visual Intonation Podcast welcomes filmmaker Alicia K. Harris, a storyteller who turns quiet moments into vivid emotional landscapes. She joins us from Scarborough, the community that shaped her artistry and continues to pulse beneath every frame she creates. Alicia talks about the lessons that carried her from student sets to national stages, and how early affirmations like the Best Director award at Ryerson helped her believe that her voice belonged in the world.In this episode she traces the path from her first short film Fatherhood to her breakout success with Pick, the film that earned her a Canadian Screen Award and opened new doors across the country. She shares how each project taught her a different truth, from the bruised comedy of Love Stinks to the quiet power woven through All Things But Forget and Maybe If It Were a Nice Room. Alicia explains how she builds characters who breathe, falter, fight, and invite audiences to see themselves without apology.We explore the creative courage behind On a Sunday at Eleven, the film that brought her a second Canadian Screen Award. Alicia reflects on the craft decisions that shaped it, the patience it demanded, and the joy of seeing a personal story resonate with so many viewers. She also talks about stepping into television, directing episodes of Lockdown, The Parker Andersons, Amelia Parker, and Beyond Black Beauty, where she won the award for Best Direction in a Children's or Youth Program or Series.Alicia closes with a look at the mission that fuels Sugar Glass Films, the company she co founded to champion women and marginalized voices. She speaks about mentorship, community, and the responsibility she feels to widen the gate for the filmmakers coming after her. This conversation is a study in artistic intention, a reminder that great work begins with a single truthful idea, and a celebration of a filmmaker who continues to shape Canadian cinema with clarity and heart.Alicia K.

In May, King County prosecutors filed sexual assault charges against a King County sheriff’s deputy. They said he raped a 17-year-old girl. Prosecutors claim the abuse started while the two were alone on a ride-along in his police SUV while she was participating in Explorers, a national youth mentorship program, with the Burien Police Department. And that allegation mirrors a disturbing pattern of abuse within Explorers programs at law enforcement agencies nationwide. We talk with a reporter who has investigated the program about what she found.

With no food, fuel, or medicine allowed in, humanitarian workers watch helplessly as civilians die under a policy of "voluntary relocation"—a chilling euphemism for ethnic cleansing. 13:10 Christian Zionists Betray Christ: Cheering Gaza's Genocide     Australian writer Caitlin Johnston exposes the shocking betrayal of 30 million Christian Zionists in America, who blindly support Israel's brutal Gaza atrocities, believing it's God's will. Ignoring Jesus's teachings that “my kingdom is not of this world,” these cult-like evangelicals twist Old Testament prophecies to justify starvation and slaughter, bombing child-filled “concentration camp.”         Even pagans recoil at this spiritual bankruptcy! 19:39 Are Christian Zionists Missing Christ as the Pharisees Did?“Christian” leaders like Ken Copeland and John Hagee (who says Jesus didn't come as Messiah and never said he was the Messiah) have exchanged the Kingdom of God for a worldly Zionism.  Like the Pharisees of Jesus' time they want political power and victory and they're whitewashed sepulchres 35:43 LIVE comments from audience 43:33 Mel Gibson: We Need the Truth About 9/11Says we need people of impeccable character to get to the bottom of it.  You mean people like Rudy Giuliani, Howard Lutnick, Gina Haspel? 53:45 US Boasts God-Like Power: Bending Time and Space in a Techno-Babel Takeover!

He got his Masters Degree in School Counseling from Northern Arizona University. Tanner has over six years of EFY experience and another five working as a wrangler for troubled teenagers at Arivaca Boys Ranch. He currently is serving as the bishop in his ward in Morenci, Arizona, where he developed a youth program called "I Can Do Hard Things" to help drive kids off the couch and into living life and preparing for the temple/mission.

This program, developed while he served as a counselor in the bishopric, aims to provide youth with structured goals across the four quadrants in the Children and Youth program: spiritual, social, intellectual, and physical. Tanner explains how he drew inspiration from scouting and other youth programs to create a comprehensive list of activities that encourage youth to step outside their comfort zones and engage in meaningful experiences. Throughout the conversation, Tanner discusses the importance of parental buy-in and how the challenge has positively impacted the culture of his small ward, which previously struggled with youth engagement and missionary work. He highlights the success of the program, noting that it has led to increased participation among the youth and has even inspired similar initiatives in other organizations within the ward. The episode emphasizes the significance of celebrating achievements, as Tanner describes the award ceremony where participants receive recognition for their hard work, fostering a sense of community and accomplishment. Leadership is about empowering others to reach their potential, and Tanner's approach serves as a practical example for other leaders looking to inspire and uplift the youth in their wards. 05:48 - Tanner's Background and New Calling 06:59 - The "I Can Do Hard Things" Challenge 09:47 - Overview of the Youth Program and Goals 10:44 - Changing the Culture in the Ward 12:01 - Structure of the Challenge 20:49 - Breakdown of the Challenge Areas 25:07 - Physical Challenge Activities 27:51 - Social Challenge Activities 29:38 - Spiritual Challenge Activities 30:49 - Intellectual Challenge Activities 32:04 - Importance of Accountability 33:01 - Reward Ceremony and Recognition 34:27 - Encouraging Participation and Buy-In The award-winning Leading Saints Podcast is one of the top independent Latter-day Saints podcasts as part of nonprofit Leading Saints' mission to help Latter-day Saints be better prepared to lead.
