Get creative when and where you do contact work! It doesn't HAVE to be at a school. When we first started YoungLives we weren't allowed onto the alternative high school campus, so we went to places that we WERE welcome. WIC (Women Infants and Children) had a young moms group and I volunteered to help teach cooking and even taught a dance class. We also went to the local farmers market. It was a free event each week, so our girls loved going to socialize. We literally met them in the streets! You just have to think... where are they? Where am I? And then merge the two!
