About The Brighter Futures Podcast by Rodman for Kids

Telling the stories behind the impact - and the people building brighter futures. The Brighter Futures Podcast by Rodman for Kids is where mission meets conversation. Hosted by the Rodman for Kids team, including Executive Director, Amy Rossman, and Senior Marketing & Communications Manager, Jane Lima, each episode features authentic, inspiring stories from the people driving change for youth across Massachusetts - and beyond. You'll hear honest conversations with those who are making a difference - nonprofit leaders, philanthropists, educators, youth participants, and members of the Rodman for Kids team - as we dive into the heart of what it takes to create lasting impact. From the evolution of our Theatre for Kids program to the legacy of the Rodman Ride for Kids and the partnerships powering our mission, we’re telling the stories that don’t always make the headlines, but make all the difference. Because brighter futures don’t just happen. They’re built - together.
