Welcome to Season Two of Surviving Matters!

My name is Holly Lynch, I live in New York City and I’m a two-time cancer survivor. Last year, I did a podcast asking other people how they’ve survived the trials in their lives. It was a very personal question; these are stories I’m very proud to have produced. But this year Covid changed everything; including our ideas of survival. So for this season I tracked down community leaders, those whose job it is to figure out how to make it work and asked them how we get through this.

Episode Nine is a conversation with Marjorie Parker, President of JobsFirst NYC about the setbacks in youth employment due to the pandemic.
