Scenario

When budget cuts threaten the spaces that hold communities together

The community center where I volunteer is struggling financially and might close and I keep thinking about all the kids who won't have a safe place to go after school.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The potential loss of communal spaces forces us to see how much invisible work these places do in creating safety and connection for those who need it most.
