Dr. Martha Jay sits with Muriel Baptiste, the Program Manager of youth skills development with a non-government entity, and the Executive Director of a foundation that focuses on supporting marginalized women, and youth in Chicago. Muriel outlines how to build capacity, broaden partnerships, and assess needs in the process of organizing and establishing trade, sports, and STEAM programs geared to skill building. She also emphasizes the importance of soft skills in the process of equipping the whole person. The hope is that regions that are most susceptible to the effects of climate change will create opportunities for youth to become more resilient in climate-affected regions.
