Virtual learning has been a challenge for many of our youth and their families, so we created the Virtual Learning Center for youth to have a quiet, safe, and supported environment to attend school. A huge shout out to Forrest, our Education Coordinator, for also creating a Zoom tutoring drop in for youth that need academic support from home.
