There she found safe shelter, hot meals, and the guidance and support needed to turn her life around. Today, she’s glowing with a new sense of self-worth and a positive outlook on life.
FROM ACTING OUT TO FOLLOWING THE RULES! When Christian came to the Harlem-Grovetown Afterschool program, he had difficulty adjusting to the rules and relating to peers.
