Hi all!
We're back..and sorry for the lack of updates :) We've been pretty caught up with other stuff.
So here's what we have been up to - Mainly planning the concert and coming up with guidelines for our Youth Drop-In Center.
We'll update more about the concert at a later time. For now, WE'RE SEARCHING FOR VOLUNTEERS!! :D We need youths to be part of our new initiative - a Youth Advisory Panel (YAP).
