What is The Handoff: Bridging the Gap?

Hello and welcome to The Handoff: Bridging the Gap, an EmpowerMT project. The Handoff: Bridging the Gap is a community-based podcast centered on issues, challenges, and successes of the youth and elders of the community. The reason for this gathering of minds and souls is to help bridge the gap between generations, as they are often in different rooms, areas, discussions, and environments. This gap has, at times, hindered development, growth, and the ability to transfer knowledge that can help increase and promote well-being, purpose, and commitment to the betterment of a rapidly changing communities.
