Youth Center Launch Event
SLLW launched the new Youth Center on Monday September 19th with a small event held in the Center. It was a fantastic success! The Youth Center looks amazing, and is a great achievement for SLLW. It will provide a critical service – helping to ensure that the homeless children in our care do not grow up to be homeless adults. Put another way, it will help ensure we break the cycle of intergenerational poverty and homelessness. Please click the follow links to see media coverage and additional information about the Center.
