The mission statement of Community Link (formerly Employment Link) is “To actively support the inclusion of individuals with disabilities within our community.”
True to that mission, Ben Hueftle, who volunteered at KGNU Boulder-Denver as a radio journalist in high school, has now returned to radio as a college graduate to mentor people in the Boulder, Colorado community who have developmental disabilities and who want to share their stories and adventures through radio. I’ve volunteered to help train and coach Ben’s group now and then at KGNU , which donates space for this project and also broadcasts some of the stories that Ben’s group has done. Click here to listen to some Community Link stories. Here are some of the stories:
