‘Meeting the existential crisis of this generation.’ Our conversation with Claire Wyneken.

Posted August 31, 2022, by Mindi Wisman

Today we feature our latest Insights From The Field podcast conversation for the Foresight Initiative, an interview with Claire Wyneken, President and CEO of Wyman Center, a 100-year old youth development organization that provides support and programming to youth in St. Louis and around the country. In these conversations we are learning how varied experts in the field of child and youth services have faced pandemic challenges, innovated and adapted their services, what changed and will stay changed, and what they learned. Claire talked with us about how youth today believe that the people running the country are not looking out for them, and what Wyman is doing in response, by focusing more on young people’s well-being, deepening and expanding partnerships in the community, and inviting young people to become official stakeholders in the organization.
