November is Youth HOPE Month, a time to bring attention to the challenges young people face when they experience homelessness, family conflict, or crisis. In this episode, we take a closer look at Zepf Center’s 24-hour Youth Shelter and youth crisis services; programs designed to offer safety, support, and a pathway forward for young people who need immediate help.
For this conversation, we are joined by Director of Youth Services Andrea Murdock and Street Outreach Program Manager Jennifer Ballard. Alongside these guests, we discuss the realities of youth homelessness, how young people access services, and the meaningful ways our community can step up and make a difference.
Stay tuned for a conversation that is brimming with compassion, insight, and hope for our local youth.
