We're bookending For the People with folks and nonprofits working to address and reduce violence in our communities. First we'll meet the Program Manager at CT Violence Intervention and Prevention who is Connecticut's only representative to the first ever Community Violence Intervention Leadership Cohort at the University of Chicago who is prepping for her upcoming graduation at the White House.

Then we're circling back with the Salisbury (CT) Winter Sports Association - which is poised for their 98th Annual JumpFest, the oldest Ski Jumping Competition in New England. But it's not just about ski jumping, this is truly a community and regional festival spanning 3 days in the Litchfield Hills, so tuned in and make plans to be there.

And we'll close with the father and son co-founders of the nonprofit Chick Rosnick Boxing Club - dedicated to teaching the art of boxing to boys and girls so its participants can advocate against bullying, learn alternatives to violence and gang culture, and be instilled greater discipline, good character, and good citizenship.
