Our Newly Renovated Youth Center Reopened to Serve More Youth From Crisis!
During the week of August 23rd to 27th, we unleashed live footage of our new space and what youth have to say about it. Named The OC, the renovated building will be a monumental step toward creating an expansive pathway to healing available to every youth from crisis in Arkansas. For 10 years, hundreds of young people have come through our doors to receive housing coaching, life skills, and mentorship. We’re celebrating limitless years ahead of increased impact!
The generosity of people like you has brought to life Arkansas’ first center dedicated to youth from crisis. We welcome your ongoing support as we invest in Overcomers to achieve big goals with holistic help.
