Letters from the Lunchroom is a podcast that shows you a new side of Communities In Schools, a nationwide non-profit which provides support services for at-risk students. We know that people who engage with non-profits have a story to tell, and we want to hear that story. From students to staff members, and alumni to volunteers, our host, Victoria, connects with people of all backgrounds to discover the journey they took which brought them to Communities In Schools. Join us in the lunchroom to hear these stories, which are always touching, occasionally heart-breaking, and often surprising.
In this episode, we talk with Raj Chetty, professor of Economics at Harvard University and a presenter at the 2019 Leadership Town Hall. Raj shares the outcomes of research conducted by his team at Opportunity Insights, which show that the work which Communities In Schools is doing is essential in restoring the American Dream. This episode begins with our interview, followed by his fireside chat with Molly Shaw, President & CEO of Communities In Schools of Charlotte-Mecklenburg.A video of his presentation from the 2019 Leadership Town Hall is available here: bit.ly/Raj2019LTH)
