Honest Conversations about Youth Development and Education
Episode #5: Live from the Bridge Conference! Eric Gurna, Executive Director of Development Without Limits, interviewed our own Zach Wilson and other attendees at Bridge.
The idea of the podcast is to get past the platitudes and institutional positions, and have honest, nuanced conversations about things that really matter to young people and communities.

- Alexis Menten of Asia Society,
- Karen Pittman of the Forum for Youth Investment.
- Earl Phalen of Reach Out and Read
-
Dr. Pedro Noguera of New York University.
