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.

"Dykman is Dykman"
Today we speak with Luis, a volunteer coach with the program. As chance would have it, he is the newest member to the coaching staff. Luis did not participate in the program as a youth. During the pandemic, Luis looked for an opportunity to make an impact in his neighborhood. His search led him to YALD. Luis speaks to us about his impression of the program and why he joined.
