Youth Voice Amplified
What happens when we stop talking about young people and start listening to them?
Join host Gennessa Fisher for Youth Voice Amplified, a youth-led podcast where youth share their lived experiences, their ideas, and the change they want to see in their communities.
In Season 2, we meet young people who are turning their experiences into action and working alongside adults to make a difference. Through honest conversations about foster care, homelessness, advocacy, identity, and more, our guests share not only what they’ve been through, but what they’ve learned and what adults can do better.
If you want to better understand, support, and work alongside youth or simply be inspired by what happens when youth are given the opportunity to lead...this is your show!
