This episode continues our podcast series focused on impacting community change through grassroots community leadership. In this series, we are shining the spotlight on local everyday community leaders. In this episode we talk with three community leaders who share a passion for developing programs to build skills among youth and adults.  


Steph Mukenyi Wahome has been a Program Manager for City Year in Detroit and helped start a Charter school in Washington D.C. She is currently the Regional Cleveland Coordinator for Scenarios USA and a professor at Cuyahoga Community College. Mary Kauffman describes herself as an artistic, bohemian-techy and promotes connections to resources and programming through the innovative use of technology. One of her projects is TechBOOM, a community-based program that provides technology instruction through an entertaining gaming format. Jonathan Steirer is passionate about housing, equitable neighborhood development, transit access, and facilitating relationships between community members. He is involved with the Cleveland Global Shapers, Big Brothers Big Sisters and is a block club leader.
