In the latest podcast episode of For What I Want to Know, Dr. Heather Clawson, Chief Innovation and Program Officer at Communities in Schools, joins Kevin P. Chavous to explore what more we can do to ensure at-risk kids receive the support they need.

What steps are we taking to ensure students have basic needs like food, clothing, and shelter? And how can we bridge the divide between our schools and the community resources that positively impact children’s lives?
