On any given night in Grand Rapids, there are 80 youth experiencing homelessness.
Meet Jon and Lauren. |
We walk alongside each young person who moves into 3:11, setting goals together that make sense for their life circumstances. We eat weekly meals together as a community and develop relationships through intentional conversation. Overall, we engage with young people from their point of reference and walk with them as they move themselves to the next step in their lives.This past March they celebrated their Second Annual Welcome Home Event. The event was filled with 3:11 family, friends, alumni, and partners. It was an opportunity to share progress made in the past year and a chance to express their vision going forward.
Kayla welcomed everyone to the event and shared about the history of 3:11. |
