And just like that, we are back from Wesleyan University in Buckhannon, WV with one more Try-This youth summit under our belts, everyone a little taller than last year and with many more fun memories to share.

✨💙🌱 Every child deserves a safe, stable, nurturing environment.

Programs like Family Support Centers, child care assistance, clothing vouchers, and Legal Aid help make that possible.
They support families and create the stability children need to thrive.

Right now, these supports may be at risk.
