Our first ever LIVE episode of YP2FPod, recorded at the California Endowment during the opening of the YP2F Policy Summit held August 8th, 2023. Please understand that there were audio issues in the live recording. We did our best to resolve it but our editing magic only goes so far. We thought it was most important to share the voices of our youth panelists Iziiah, Perla, and Ken.
