I went there four times in my life living in the shelter and considered it my home it brought me to absolute tears the day I left. Before leaving I acted out purposely thinking that they would make me stay but that did not work. This place I hated until I had to leave. It taught me that you never know what you have until it is gone.

My favorite place they taught me so much great staff and really awesome education. Never knew I could be so into history but with Mr b. He makes it so much fun and the staff help u out so much. Went there in 2015 got out in 2018 finished my program in 9 months just was waiting on a foster home to open up. If I could go back and talk to the peers about my experience I had when I was there I 100% would.
