The Brighter Futures Podcast by Rodman for Kids
Telling the stories behind the impact—and the people building brighter futures.
The Brighter Futures Podcast by Rodman for Kids is where mission meets conversation. Hosted by the Rodman for Kids team, including Executive Director, Amy Rossman, and Marketing & Communications Manager, Jane Lima, each episode features authentic, inspiring stories from the people driving change for youth across Massachusetts—and beyond.
You'll hear honest conversations with those who are making a difference—nonprofit leaders, philanthropists, educators, youth participants, and members of the Rodman for Kids team—as we dive into the heart of what it takes to create lasting impact. From the evolution of our Theatre for Kids program to the legacy of the Rodman Ride for Kids and the partnerships powering our mission, we’re telling the stories that don’t always make the headlines—but make all the difference.
Because brighter futures don’t just happen. They’re built—together.

Episode 3: ALL Kids Need Support
On this episode of The Brighter Futures Podcast, we’re joined by Peter Waisgerber, Chief Development Officer at MetroWest YMCA and Rodman for Kids Board Member, to explore what it truly means to support all kids - not just those labeled “at risk.”
As we recognize World Children’s Day, we’re reminded that every child deserves to feel empowered, connected, and uplifted. Peter shares how collaboration between nonprofits like the YMCA and Rodman for Kids creates stronger communities and brighter futures for every child - because every kid deserves a champion in their corner.
