Community volunteers supporting a youth with school work at Study Table.
WDM has long been thought of as an affluent community, but it still has unrecognized growing needs.
Since WDM is a wonderful place to live and has been offering affordable housing, the community has seen a significant shift in demographics.
These shifts in poverty levels are creating a strain on our current systems.
YJI seeks to address the strain and support youth who lack resources whether it’s financial, educational or relational by providing youth with positive community connections.
