Many of our parents have come from families that are homeless and we are working to break that cycle- without programs like these the children are at a high risk of becoming the next generation of homeless.
CHILDHOOD DEVELOPMENT
Positive Change
Our Youth Development program was started in 2013 to address the many challenges faced by children raised in a homeless environment when we began to realize that we are in a position to make a significant difference in the lives of these high risk children. Without programs like these the children are at a high risk of becoming the next generation of homeless.
