Episode 127 – Walking With Youth: Emilio Vaca & Reno/Sparks Young Life

This week on the Community Cares Podcast, Dave McLaughlin and Chaplain Chaz sit down with community leader and Young Life advocate Emilio Vaca to talk about what teens in Reno/Sparks are really facing—and how caring adults can make a life-changing difference. From showing up at games and club nights to creating safe spaces where students are known by name, Emilio shares stories, insights, and simple next steps for anyone who wants to support middle and high school students in Northern Nevada.

Whether you’re a parent, educator, ministry leader, or neighbor who just cares about the next generation, this conversation will encourage you to lean in, listen well, and take one small step toward a young person in your world.
