Putting Data to Work: Employment and Equity in the Dubuque Region


Listen Later

In our first episode of 2022, we talk with Alex Baum, director of initiatives at the Community Foundation of Greater Dubuque, and Caprice Jones, founder and executive director of the Fountain of Youth Program in Dubuque, about how organizations can use data to understand community needs and support their work. We talk about the Community Foundation's latest Data Walk, which focuses on employment and equity, and how Caprice sees the real-world implications of this data in his efforts to reverse cycles of generational poverty.
