Do you know youth ages 13 to 16 who are struggling on their own keeping up with 509j On-Line School? PIRS by SriPonya can offer support who are feeling isolated, disconnected or feel like they may be falling behind with 509j On-Line. They meet Monday and Wednesday, 9am to 4pm and Thursday, 9am to 1pm. Currently they are meeting at the Warm Springs Media Center, but will be moving to 29 “D” Street in Madras. Youth and mentors work on 509j on-line together plus do arts, crafts, storytelling and adventures like hiking and sightseeing. They have two open spots for youth who could use the extra support with school and connecting with other youth. For more information, email jennifer@sriponya.com
