So let's admit it. When many of us think of Teens, one of the first descriptive words that can come to mind is, unfortunately, "Difficult". We do so while conveniently forgetting that we were once thought of in the same light. So in the interest of "doing unto others..." this episode focuses on an organization that has been working diligently to provide opportunities for teens to learn valuable social, recreational, and even professional skills. While at the same time, providing a "safe haven" for those that need it the most. It is a place where transformations occur that inspire and challenge all of us. Inspire us with hope for the future, and challenge us to do what we can to help make that future HAPPEN.
