Thanks to for hosting us for our staff meeting today. Their work providing a trauma-informed and love centered welcoming space to youth and those seeking support in the 48205 zipcode is a grounding reminder of the vital role our clients and partners play in their communities. In addition to hearing a break down of the needs and realities that drive the work of the organization, we were privileged to be given a tour of the space they occupy on Alcoy, and learn about the ways they are working to expand their services.

Last week we attended leadership pipeline summit, where they presented on inspiring youth to step into becoming the next generation of nonprofit and community development leaders. Creating sustainable and inspired leadership means supporting people in ways that ensure they can confidently step into their roles in community.
