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 Turkey Bowl
Today we speak with Rafael and Joseph otherwise known as Ralph and Flash. Both of these young men were part of YALD when they were younger. They speak to us about their experiences on the field and some of their favorite memories. They explain the different lessons that they've learned over the years and how this has translated into their current lives. They also talk to us about the "Turkey Bowl" and how that has an effect on the program today.
