WCRS Podcast - youthbeat

Happy Eid! This week Youth Beat visits the Azza Sudanese School in Columbus, where we have a chance to learn about the geography, environment, customs, and traditions of Sudan, as well as hear a bit of music from regions throughout the country. We also learn about the HEAL (Healthy Eating and Active Living) program in Cleveland and talk with students from the Rivers Institute at the University of Dayton who share their passion for the outdoors and herpetology.

This week, Youth Beat heads into the heart of Columbus to learn more about what all goes on between the skyscrapers. Positively Charged features youth from the Academy of Urban Scholars and Juvenile Justice Coalition who are working to stop community violence in Columbus and planning a memorial in honor of the young people lost to violence. We also meet a local artist who uses his incredible talent as a platform to inspire others and Ohio State student who finds environmental opportunities, even in the city. No matter how long you've lived in Columbus, there's still more to learn: so stay tuned!

This week Youth Beat is all about discovery. First, we travel to Cedar Bog State Nature Preserve and learn all about bogs, fens, dragonflies, wildflowers, and the amazing nature right here in Central Ohio. Looking for something to do this summer? Camp Canopy is coming up in June with opportunities for high school students to experience a week of camp learning about trees, wildlife, and career opportunities in the environment and natural resources field. Then we're off to Vancouver for a few highlights of the Children and Nature Network conference.
