Episode description

Carlos Aponte teaches history at an alternative high school in Fairhill, one of the most impoverished neighborhoods in Philadelphia. Aponte founded the nonprofit We Love Philly to help build students’ confidence, relationships, and experience through acts of service. "We help graduate those students that the school district couldn’t," he says.
