This past Wednesday, January 19th, we had our first general body meeting of the year with special guest speakers from 1Hundred Years!
1 Hundred Years is composed of three (3) gentlemen who served a combined 100 years in the California Prison system, we’re collaborating with them as we’re working to get involved with incarcerated youth in juvenile hall through our hubs of healing program.
They joined us to share their story about their upbringing and experience being incarcerated for over 25+ years! They also discussed the importance of mental health and forgiving yourself. It was incredibly impactful for the members of YHC volunteer staff as they heard their stories of heartbreak and struggle and how they’ve overcome and are committed to helping the community.
Check out 1Hundred Years website to learn more about them and stay tuned for future collaborations!
