About

The Northern New York Community Podcast is a platform to capture and share interviews highlighting stories of community philanthropy and service that has impacted the North County. The Region has been built in a part through the generous acts of people with an affinity and passion for the North County. Community philanthropy has played a valuable role in the growth, development and enrichment of villages, towns and cities in Jefferson, Lewis and St. Lawrence counties. Stories have messages that can inspire. The podcast will be an on-going project and feature North Country natives and residents who believe in strengthening the area where they grew up, raised families or currently live today. We will hear from a variety of civic-minded individuals, couples and families devoted to lasting community betterment.
