Show Notes
When working with homeless and disabled artists, the refrain that social entrepreneur Liz Powers hears most often is: "I don't want a handout, I want an opportunity." In this talk, Powers explores the concept of "Joblifting," a way to create chances for people by focusing on their talents rather than their circumstances. This talk was filmed at TEDxYouth@BeaconStreet. All TEDx events are organized independently by volunteers in the spirit of TED's mission of ideas worth spreading.
