In this episode the What Now? Podcast advisory team spends time reflecting on their year:  the ups and downs, challenges, and take-aways of starting a new club, learning to collaborate with others, and get out of their comfort zones to meet and talk to new people.  Each member records a “dream” podcast and reveals what they will do now that their 8th grade year is coming to an end.

In this episode, we talk to the school's community service groups to find out what they do, who they do it for, and how other students can help.
