Break The Line: Poverty Vs Potential At Martha O'bryan Center, Nashville Tennessee

Informações:

Sinopse

There is a line between a wealth of opportunities and a poverty of choices. Martha O'Bryan Center's goal is to break that line. Martha O'Bryan Center is a nonprofit in Nashville, Tennessee composed of community centers and schools. We believe poverty is highly complex and requires an integrated combination of programs, partners, families, youth, and community working together to Break The Line between poverty and potential. This is a podcast of stories and discussions about our work.
