What is success? Is success when everything goes smoothly? Is it when a youth never makes a poor choice? Or is success creating a safe and welcoming place for youth so they can learn from mistakes and find help? Helping young people learn safe places to turn when things get rough is a great means to helping them learn to succeed. YouthZone is here for young people. It is a place where a kid can feel comfortable leaving his/her skateboard while they attend court; it is a place where adults care and will listen to problems and help explore solutions; it is a place where a young person can “connect” and “grow.” Only a phone call, an e-mail, or a visit away – YouthZone is here to help.
