Community Resources Program
Our CRC works closely with school counselors and community members to identify youth ages 13-18 years old who are runaway, homeless or in at-risk/unhealthy family situations. The CRC works directly with these youth to help them develop coping skills and to provide them with the resources needed to plan and make decisions for the direction of their future. We do this through the provisions of resource information, one-on-one planning sessions and group classes.
