Today’s youth are the future. They are the foundation that will carry the legacies we leave behind. To reach out and support youth that are troubled, lost and searching for answers is a noble action we are all called to. To ensure the development and survival of this planet that we call home, we must look to the future, by looking at our youth. New Horizons are making a massive impact on the homeless youth scene in Seattle, and their model is one that is not only sustainable, but forward thinking and what I think is vital: open and affirming.
