Episode Details

In this week’s episode of Inside Appalachia, we talk with students, educators, life coaches and psychologists about what can help more young people stay in school, and get trained so they can get jobs, and stay in Appalachia.

We meet Sharell Harmon, who works for a nonprofit called Youth Build, training  young people with hands-on skills so they can get jobs to help them get a job.  Harmon was a participant in the program seven years ago. “I went from being homeless, a college dropout,” Harmon recalled. “And now I'm a college graduate. And, I'm going to buy my first house this year.”
