Cade and Harrison Talk About National Service and Universal Basic Income

In May 2021, "Shaping Our Future" brought more than 600 young people together from across the country to discuss their insights on major societal issues our country is facing today. They discussed these issues in small groups, listened to panel experts offer their thoughts, and interacted with each other regardless of whether or not they agreed on the subject matter.

From the team that brought you Voices of America In One Room, this is Voices of Shaping Our Future.

Throughout this season, you’re going to hear from some of our “Shaping Our Future” online participants. In this episode, we meet Cade and Harrison.

Cade is currently a graduate student at Sewanee: The University of the South in Tennessee. He is working on his Masters in Theology, and is originally from Sugarland, TX.

Harrison is also a graduate student who is earning his Masters degree in Public Policy and Management at Carnegie Mellon University. He is an AmeriCorps member and is currently situated in Philadelphia, PA.

The Voices of Shaping Our Future podcast is available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and Google Podcasts, and is hosted by Alice Siu. This series is executive produced by the Center for Deliberative Democracy at Stanford University, the Berggruen Institute, the Haas Center for Public Service at Stanford University, and Tobe Agency.
