Welcome to Behind the Region, the podcast from the South Bend Regional Chamber, where we explore the people, partnerships, and ideas shaping our community’s future.
In today’s episode, we’re joined by Lauryn Brown and Jamie Brown of the National Youth Advocate Program—an organization dedicated to strengthening families, supporting youth, and building healthier communities through compassionate, community-based services.
Lauryn and Jamie bring powerful insight into the challenges facing young people today, as well as the innovative approaches their organization is using to create meaningful, lasting change. From advocacy and mentorship to family support and community collaboration, their work is making a real difference across our region and beyond.
We’ll talk about their mission, the impact they’re seeing on the ground, and how partnerships with local organizations and leaders are helping expand opportunities for youth and families right here in our community.
