CTFoodshare - CatalystCT - Northwest Region Workforce Investment Board

While summer offers a great break for many young people and college-age students, it's also the time of peak hunger and visits to the hundreds of partners working with CTFoodshare. That's right, our state's hunger crisis goes into overdrive every summer, and we're bringing in the CEO from CTFoodshare to explain why and what you can do about it.

Then we'll learn about the new name and stepped up mission of a long-tenured and extremely important human services organization serving southwestern Connecticut. RYASAP is now CatalystCT, and we'll chat with that agency's President and CEO to learn what's behind this new image and how CatalystCT is creating a positive impact for the underserved and marginalized youth, families, and neighborhoods in our region.

And we'll close connecting with the boss from the Northwest Region Workforce Investment Board. This regional agency has a lot to celebrate lately as they facilitate the launch of a number of programs fortifying our state's high-tech manufacturing businesses, our state environmental protection agency, and providing opportunities for youth and adults to explore and become well compensated contributors to our workforce.
