Community Connections on the Air

5/14: Sounds of Homelessness
The sounds from life on the streets from one homeless family including the challenges of finding work, shelter and providing food and health care. This is the seventh episode of our weekly Thursday series, "Hope at Home: Understanding the Foreclosure Crisis." Listen to m3u

3/6: Call to Action
Shortly before his inauguration, President Obama sent out a call to action to all Americans, asking them to get involved in their communities through volunteering. He set an example by volunteering himself the day before he was sworn in. Have Las Vegans responded? Here are some early results. Listen to m3u

12/8: The Giving Season
The holiday season tends to bring out the giver in most of us, but some businesses and their employees in Las Vegas Valley make giving and volunteering a part of their company's cultures year 'round. Listen to m3u

10/8: Improving Volunteerism
Even in a town as sharp with a dollar as Las Vegas, many locals still bristle when confronted with the news that Las Vegas doesn't measure up well as a charitable city. Listen to m3u

9/4: The Changing Environment
Very quietly, economic trouble has made its way into places in Las Vegas where you might not expect to find it. Listen to m3u
