We have spent the past two days at the Love Life Center. The center is a community center for youth. The program at the Love Life Center is a leadership program. The program teaches youth that despite their circumstances they have the ability within themselves to create their own future. They teach the youth personal values as well as skills they can use to reach others in the community. For example, the youth run a radio station where they can broadcast their message and offer the youth and others in the community advice on how to maintain good physical and emotional health. The Love Life center has programs that link youth to many support services.
As we toured the center it was evident that it was an oasis for the youth; a place that uplifts them and values them as assists to society. I was struck by the positive energy and self-understanding demonstrated throughout the center.
My takeaway from the center is
hope propels us forward.
