The Juicecast Ep. 11 - Steve from Marin County Swim Association
Marin County Swim Association is a 501(c) non-profit raising funds to make aquatics more accessible in Marin County, CA. Historically, residents have had to travel out-of-county to participate in high-level competitions, creating financial barriers for underrepresented youth to participate. MCSA aims to bring these opportunities back to the community by providing access to tournaments, equipment, and lessons at low or no cost.
In this episode, we discuss the current barriers to access aquatics in Marin County, Steve’s background as a water polo coach, and how he discovered crypto before becoming a JuiceboxDAO contributor. He also tells us about his experience fundraising for MCSA on Juicebox and how it can enable greater transparency for non-profit organizations.
