If you’re anything like us, you’ve waited with bated breath for the new season of Serial. While it is, of course, still an amazing podcast that we love, it has hit us Cleveland lovers hard. That’s why this episode is dedicated to a group that, while it doesn’t ignore the challenges facing Cleveland, it also doesn’t let them define us. The Boys and Girls Club of Cleveland helps CLE youth find their passion by providing a safe space for them to learn and grow. Robert Koonce gave us a tour of their facilities (see Ugly Photo’s pics below!) and provided moving insight into their many programs and success stories.
