About this listen

The organization, a nonprofit promoting collective economics, has 3,500 members and has recycled $500,000 into Black communities, given $40,000 in scholarships, and purchased six acres of land in Georgia for a community project. They are developing a 112-acre retreat with residential lots and communal spaces. Yolanda Marion, Chief Development Officer at the Boys & Girls Clubs of Southern Nevada, discusses their mission to support youth development, including early childhood education and expanding services to ages 18-25. They emphasize the importance of community partnerships and the impact of their programs on youth.
