Starting Lifelong Learning Early With Kait Kelly | The Well-Being Report

In this episode, Samantha Shaak and WDIY’s Margaret McConnell talk with Kait Kelly, Assistant Director for Community Initiatives at Community Services for Children, the local organization that offers innovative learning services to children and their families. Kait talks about the experience of overseeing the Uplift After School Program in the Franklin Park neighborhood to provide a safe space for youth to connect, do arts and crafts, and get homework help.

They discuss why lifelong learning is vital and why it’s best to begin the process during the first five years of life, as well as the biggest wins they’ve seen in Franklin Park so far.
