INTERVIEW

With the beginning of the new school year, we feature on Catalyst Radio a new nonprofit education program called Open Doors: Center for Self-directed Teens.

In studio is Rebecca Kirk, director of Open Doors, to describe this alternative to traditional schooling which helps teens discover their own way to a self-motivated learning experience. Adena Koslek, instructor/advisor at Open Doors, also joins us.

 

Music featured in this episode of Catalyst Radio is from the new release from local band Radiator Hospital, called “Something Wild.”

The Rapidian, a program of the 501(c)3 nonprofit Community Media Center, relies on the community’s support to help cover the cost of training reporters and publishing content.

We need your help.

If each of our readers and content creators who values this community platform help support its creation and maintenance, The Rapidian can continue to educate and facilitate a conversation around issues for years to come.
