Our Purpose: We are a VIAble organization: Visible: We are where youth are. Initiators: We initiate contact with youth. Available: We are there when youth need us.
Do you need emergency food or shelter? Do you need someone to talk to? Are things not going well at home? Do you have trouble keeping a job? Would you like to be more involved in the community? We can help through our Outreach, Counseling and PEER ( Productivity, Employability, Employment, Retention) programs. |
