How can workforce development programs create brighter futures for at-risk and justice-involved youth? In this episode of The Table, we explore the power of youth-driven career pathways with Lori Roddy, Executive Director of Neutral Zone, and a special young adult guest who has participated in one of their programs.

Neutral Zone, a youth-focused nonprofit in Ann Arbor, provides creative spaces, mentorship, and workforce training through programs like Future Corps, a 10-year transitional initiative designed to help young people successfully navigate adulthood. We also discuss how Michigan’s expanded Child Care Fund can support programs like these, ensuring more young people have access to career opportunities and community-based support.
