Community ConnectionsAll people interact with, and depend on, some version of community to survive and thrive. Many young people who have been traumatized and have experienced homelessness are very disconnected from their community and see no pathway forward. New Day intentionally connects young people back to the community through a host of creative, interactive pathways, thus creating a bridge of support to their future.
