“Children in Morgan County are our greatest asset in building a brighter future for this community. However, so many of them are struggling due to circumstances out of their control, whether it’s poverty, homelessness, addictions, mental illness, etc. We need solutions to help them and their families break these destructive cycles. We’re excited to partner with Youth First as they provide additional people and resources to tackle these issues head-on and build stronger, healthier and self-reliant families.”

My Youth First Social Worker, Miss Walls, is a very understanding person. She will always understand what you want to talk about. She will always be there when you need her most. One major thing she helped me through is when my parents were fighting and I was having home issues…but she helps me with so much more than that. She has helped me stay in school, because she will always calm me down and help me refrain from getting in trouble. Miss Walls puts a lot of hard work and effort into her job. It’s not just me that she impacts – she impacts many people’s lives.
