In this episode of Riverbank Voices, we sit down with Richard Carranza, former Chancellor of New York City Public Schools, longtime educator, and a mariachi since the age of five, as he joins Riverbank Unified as coach and mentor for our first-ever mariachi program.

This is a conversation about identity, belonging, and the power of music to change the trajectory of a young person's life. We're honored to launch this program in a big way, and even more honored to have Richard guiding the way.
