Youth mentors get the fun job of helping students explore their interests and learn how those interests can become careers! Youth Mentor Erin had the idea to bring her animal-loving mentees to the Cat Café last month, as one of her mentees is interested in pursuing a career as a veterinarian someday. Great idea Erin! For more information on mentoring, contact Rachel at rvandyke@archlou.org.
Over the next two months we will receive an unusually high number of refugee families from many countries. That means we will furnish and prepare 60 to 70 apartments!

God bless you for your kindness.

Last week, Rachel VanDyke took a small group of youth to the Electric Lineman Field Day in Shelbyville, hosted by the Shelby Energy Cooperative.
