No school, no work, no home. 


Where do they hang out and spend thier days? 

        The mall
        The bus station
        The park
        The library
hotels, homeless shelters, camp sites

Where do they eat, sleep and wash up?
What do they learn from one another? 
Why is this so common today?

Meaningful, supervised & accessible after school & summer options for young people make a huge difference.  


Ways to facilitate loving, safe and positive reconciliation with family makes our community stronger. 


What are your ideas?
