YALD. The Podcast (hosted by Aldo B. Martin).
Nestled in the Washington Heights neighborhood in NYC, is a group of people that aim to empower their surrounding community. The organization is called YALD and providing young people with the skills and confidence that they need to achieve their dreams is the mission. YALD has been serving their community for over a decade. There is a lot more behind the scenes than just football games on Saturdays.

The Legacy (part 2)
In the second part of our conversation with Fernando, Carlos tells us the story of a time when he's had to make a tough decision regarding one of the program's participants. As it turns out, the story is essential to understanding YALD's culture and expectations for its participants. Fernando echoes the sentiment and describes the programs values in his own words.
