The Epidemic of Gun Violence and How to Stop It | Ron Soeder | TEDxClevelandStateUniversity

Ron Soeder discusses the impact of gun violence on the children he mentors through the Boys & Girls Club.

Ron Soeder became president of the Boys and Girls Clubs of Cleveland in 2006. When he first started working for the Boys and Girls Club of Cleveland, he was unsure how the urban community would accept him. He found that he had tremendous empathy and compassion for the youth and families he interacted with. He has developed relationships that have energized him to work harder to help the youth of urban Cleveland survive and be successful, while odds and circumstances are stacked against them.

This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at http://ted.com/tedx
