Pathways to Purpose: Workforce Development and Volunteer Power in Cleveland

In this empowering episode of Our Voices Today, host Stephanie "DJ Black Unicorn" Crowder spotlights two powerful organizations helping Clevelanders build stronger futures. First, Ronnie Cannon from Towards Employment shares how the organization is breaking down barriers to meaningful careers-especially for those impacted by the justice system or systemic inequity-through skill-building, career coaching, and employer connections. Then, Joy Banish of Greater Cleveland Volunteers joins the show to talk about the power of service and how volunteering creates ripple effects across the community. Together, these conversations explore how purpose, opportunity, and people are transforming Cleveland from the ground up.
