It made the news and changed livesāuntil COVID shut it down.Since then, weāve restructured into a multi-state movement with local outreach programs in Florida, South Carolina, and now West Virginia.Where Weāre HeadedWeāre launching a new teen center in Charleston, WVābuilt on the same proven model.
