Cast your bucket where you are
"It's not about stopping, its about to go deep in a place with the people who are there in that place and facing the problems that arise that you choose to work together and figuring out together."

More About Today's Guest:
Maisha Moses is the Executive Director of The Young People’s Project, where her work focuses on broadening the participation of groups underrepresented in science, mathematics, engineering, and technology. She holds a master of science degree in mathematics, and has worked with The Algebra Project and The Young People’s Project in various capacities since 1991.
Maisha Moses, Executive Director of the Young People's Project (YPP) talks with us about the organization's founding and the ways in which it has built off of the work of civil rights leader, and her father Robert (Bob) Moses. Sprung from the Algebra Project (AP), a program that works with secondary school students who live in conditions that do not support their success, YPP helps cultivate agency among AP students who then go on to teach middle students algebra. We talk about what it means to cast your bucket, as in to go deeply into a problem with a community of students.
