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.

Break the Cycle (pt 1)
Today we speak with Miguel, otherwise known as Micky. Miguel is one of YALD's pillars as he has been a coach with the organization since the beginning. Miguel tells us about about how he came on board with the program. In addition to coach many kids over the years, he also coached his son in the program. Interestedly enough, even though his son aged out, Miguel still remained with the program for the love of interacting and giving back to his community.
