How do you go from selling crack on the corner to becoming a cornerstone in your community? Leslie Alphin and David Thigpen of Corners2cornerstones will talk about their recent work with youth at Brookwood Secure Facility, in Claverack. In this pilot program, 12 youth designed their own business plans. When they are released, they will receive support from corners2cornerstone to build skills, and launch their businesses. Tune in to hear about the program, and to learn what led Alphin and Thigpen to this work.
