A Letter to Schools

Dear School Administrator or Counselor:

Family Youth Intervention's Street Outreach Program/ Drop-In Center grant for Macomb County is responsible for reaching youth of Macomb County with the message that there is help available to them. The school setting is a great place for them to get this help.
This is what we do. We hang out in your lunch room with a display board telling about the program as well as some informational cards. If kids want to talk to us they can. We have hygiene kits, first aids kits, and safer sex kits available for kids, but do not pass these out at school unless the school requests this.

If you would like to meet with me to get more information on how the program and your school can work together you can email me, call me, or contact me to arrange a meeting.
