Voices of Hope NRV
Voices of Hope is a podcast from New River Valley Community Services, hosted by Mike Wade and Ross Wilsie.
Each episode explores the themes of hope and wellness at every level: individual, family, community, and the wider world around us. Through real stories and honest conversations, Mike and Ross highlight the people and practices that nurture resilience and connection in Virginia’s New River Valley. Whether it’s through recovery, service, creativity, or exploring the NRV’s natural beauty, Voices of Hope reminds us that hope is not just an idea – it’s something we build together.
Listen, join the conversation, and remember: hope grows when we share it.
