Creating Community for At-Risk Children and Youth

Development of community must be intentional as we seek to care for children and young people caught up in devastating situations. The theme ‘community’ is developed as a guiding framework for how we are to understand ministry among this population today. This includes creating protective, participant and justice based approaches in caring for children living in difficult circumstances.
