No FitLabPGH Podcast Release 10-28-18 #Pittsburghstrong



In light of the tragedy yesterday in the Squirrel Hill neighborhood of Pittsburgh it didn’t seem right to release a FitLabPGH podcast the next day.  Sometimes it is time to stop moving and reflect.  This is one of those times.  Our thoughts go out to the victims’ families and friends.  We’ll be back with a new episode next week. #Pittsburghstrong

Podcast 37:18 Change The Game- Joanna Papada & Michelle Parolini



Change the Game (CTG) is a youth development program.  In their own words: In everything we do, we move, we give, we grow – it all starts with movement. We are always moving forward focused on becoming change agents in our community and country.

Change the Game believes that meaningful connections happen through purpose and intention and its methodology is built on creating a team of young adults and adult coaches who purposely spend sustained time together on weekends and school vacations.

Through a yearlong series of interactions that spans greater than 700 hours, the team of high school juniors and seniors and adult coaches comes together in community service, travel, networking and team building activities.  Such activities form the foundation upon which to build and reinforce CTG’s core values of commitment, respect and open communication.

For more information on Change the Game and their programming, go to: https://www.changethegamepitt.org/

We spoke with the Founders of Change the Game, Joanna Papada and Michelle Parolini.
