Homeless Youth Empowerment Project Continues to Move Forward

Submitted by Jeff Beasley, Esteemed Loyal Knight

The Homeless Youth Empowerment Project continues to move forward through active outreach and relationship building within our community. Current efforts are scheduling meetings with Lodge members, building a committee and focusing on developing strong partnerships, listening to community leaders, and identifying the specific needs of homeless and at-risk youth so that our Lodge can provide meaningful and sustainable support.

We are in the process of building a dedicated committee to help guide the project’s growth and ensure long-term success. As part of this initiative, we are connecting with individuals who are passionate about youth outreach and community service to help establish structure, planning, and volunteer coordination.

In the coming weeks, we will begin scheduling monthly care package assembly meetings to give volunteers consistent opportunities to participate and serve. These meetings will allow members to directly support youth in need while also strengthening fellowship and engagement within our Lodge.

Additional updates will be shared as committee members are finalized and community partnerships continue to develop. If you would like to assist and be a part of this, please contact Jeff Beasley.
