On this episode of Good Trouble, we talk with Jeff Thielman, President and CEO of the International Institute of New England and a longtime leader in youth development and immigrant advocacy. Jeff shares his journey from leading youth workforce initiatives to advancing opportunities for newcomers and families across the region. Together, we examine the connection between education, economic mobility, and belonging — and what it takes to build systems that truly serve the next generation. This conversation explores leadership, access, and the long arc of creating opportunity in Boston and beyond.

Good Trouble is a podcast from Embrace Boston, produced in partnership with NBC10 Boston, featuring the thinkers and leaders reshaping our civic and cultural landscape.
