No Matter What: The Huckleberry House Story featuring Carol Argiro

This week on Full Court Press: Beyond the Baseline, we sit down with Carol Argiro, Director of Advancement at Huckleberry House, to discuss the often-overlooked crisis of youth homelessness in Central Ohio. Carol shares the inspiring mission of Huckleberry House, which has been providing shelter, support, and guidance to young people facing difficult situations since 1970. From their 24/7 Crisis Shelter for teens to transitional housing and counseling services, Huck House is a lifeline for youth navigating challenges like family conflict, poverty, and violence. We also delve into Sleep Out 2025, Huck House’s annual fundraising and awareness event. Taking place on Friday, May 30, 2025, at the Grange Insurance Audubon Center, Sleep Out invites the community to spend one night outside in solidarity with the thousands of young people who experience homelessness in Franklin County each year. Learn more and register for Sleep Out 2025: sleepout.rallybound.org⁠ [sleepout.rallybound.org⁠] Discover more about Huckleberry House’s programs: huckhouse.org [https://www.huckhouse.org/] Join us as we uncover the hidden struggles of youth homelessness and explore how collective action can lead to meaningful change.

Redefining Victory Beyond The Scoreboard featuring Chris Long

What if the real win isn’t on the scoreboard but in how we show up for ourselves and our community? This week, we’re joined by Chris Long, the founder of Hoops for Health and the Six-Foot and Under League, two powerful movements that are giving overlooked players a chance to shine. We talk about building spaces where confidence grows, health is prioritized, and everyone belongs regardless of their size, height, or background. This episode is a reminder that the game is bigger than basketball. It’s about purpose, healing, and creating opportunities for people to feel seen.

Off the Glass and Into the Community (feat. Kayla Davis)

This week, I had the chance to sit down with someone who’s truly making a difference — Kayla Davis. She’s the founder of A Step in the Right Direction, a grassroots nonprofit changing lives across Central Ohio, and she’s also doing powerful work at Huckleberry House, helping young people navigate some of life’s hardest moments. We talked about her journey, the ups and downs of being in the trenches of community work, and how she stays grounded through it all. This isn’t just about leadership; it’s about heart, purpose, and showing up for your people. If you want to support or learn more, you can find A Step in the Right Direction on Facebook [https://facebook.com/SRDColumbus]. This episode is a reminder that impact isn’t always loud — sometimes, it’s consistent, intentional, and right in your own backyard. Tune in. This one’s special.
