Connect youth to safety, provide crisis intervention, and walk with them toward a path of self-sufficiency and success.
On Friday, October 2, I will be rappelling off a seven-story building in downtown South Bend to raise funds for the Youth Service Bureau of St. Joseph County (YSB). Why? Click the end of this sentence for a link to a video to learn the "why" of YSB.
Home is where many of us are spending a lot of our time this year. Home gives so much more than safety or shelter. It provides support through challenging times, empowerment toward a path of success, nutritious meals, bandwidth for communication, and room to learn and grow. Please help me support YSB to ensure all youth have access to safety, shelter and the opportunity to succeed. Support their array of services (emergency youth shelter, counseling in our programs, Drop In Center) and programs (transitional living programs, case management services, Safe Place presentations and sites) which are completely free to the youth they serve.
"We know safety, shelter and providing success opportunities is key to establishing a bright future."
