Tim and Kate share the journey of building community partnerships, overcoming communication gaps with underserved families, and navigating the behind-the-scenes challenges of running a nonprofit while juggling full-time jobs.\n\nFrom starting the first girls’ basketball team at a charter school in East LA to watching a 7-year-old fall in love with basketball for the very first time, this conversation is a moving look into the daily work—and real impact—of grassroots community support."}
