INTERVIEW

In this edition of Catalyst Radio we feature the local nonprofit Family Futures, which focuses its efforts on ‘supporting and strengthening the family’.

We have in studio Amber Jones and Trinity Clemens of Family Futures to highlight some of the programs of the organization that was previously known as the Child and Family Resource Council. They also explain how new parents can take part in the services that are aimed to help strengthen families, leading to a stronger community.

 

MUSIC

Local music in this episode of Catalyst Radio is from the new release from Earthwork Music called Five Alive. The song is “Wishing Well” by May Erlewine.

The Rapidian, a program of the 501(c)3 nonprofit Community Media Center, relies on the community’s support to help cover the cost of training reporters and publishing content.
