THE FACILITATORS OF EACH GROUP ARE EDUCATORS FROM THE SCHOOLS IN OUR SERVICE AREA OF BIG LAKE, ELK RIVER, OTSEGO, PRINCETON AND ZIMMERMAN. THIS PAST YEAR WE SERVED 204 YOUTH!ANOTHER DIRECT IMPACT PROGRAM WE HAVE IS COMMUNITY CONNECT (PREVIOUSLY PROJECT HOMELESS CONNECT) WHERE WE HAVE AN EVENT AT THE ELK RIVER HIGH SCHOOL ON MEA THURSDAY TO SERVE PEOPLE IN NEED.
