STEAM the Streets Executive Director Ben Gilbarg was recently featured in The New Bedford Light, where he reflected on nearly three decades of helping young people discover their potential and build brighter futures.
In the article, Ben shares how STEAM the Streets is using music, media, and culture to make career exploration more engaging and accessible for today’s youth. As he puts it, “We as a society need these young folks to prosper for the benefit of all.” It’s a powerful reminder that investing in young people today strengthens our communities for generations to come.
