Kudos to the 2012 Youth Activist of Utah!
| | 
We are proud to announce that OUTreach regular and new volunteer, Lincoln Parkin, has been selected by the ACLU of Utah as the 2012 Youth Activist award winner (remember Lincoln from Sister Dottie's interview?). The Utah ACLU writes: "He was selected based on his dedication to civil liberties, the challenges he has overcome, and the leadership he has displayed through his actions." Lincoln, from all of us at OUTreach, congratulations!

Starting February 9 - Youth on Thursdays!
| |  Last Wednesday we had 40 youth at OUTreach! Attendance has doubled and tripled lately, and we are out of room! So...until we have more space available, we are having the Thursday evening OUTreach adults take a break. We will be offering OUTreach for youth ages 14-23 on BOTH Wednesdays and Thursdays, 3:30-7:30! It is thanks to our new volunteers that we are able to be open both nights. Thought about volunteering, but haven't taken the plunge? We NEED YOU! Email info@OgdenOUTreach.org for more information! |

Thursday OUTreach 4:00-7:30, ages 18+

It's party time! The last adult OUTreach for a while, as our youth program needs room to GROW! So join us for some fun and laughs this last time, and sign up to volunteer with the youth if you would like!
