Bridge Over Troubled Waters Youth Empowerment Services provides youth and young adults with mentors, life skills/job readiness development, community service opportunities, education and career counseling, and much more.
BOTW was born out of the need for youth in the community to have access to programming, services and adults where they live, and is dedicated to the positive development of youth through mentoring, empowering programming and leadership development.
That old candle wax and those old candle remnants are of good use. Bring them from 9-11:30 a.m. on Saturday, Jan. 21, to the next Indoor Farmer’s Market at St. Stephen’s Church, 33 North Clay Ave., and we will use them to make remnant candles as part of an environmentally friendly fundraiser.
For more information, contact Dwayne James at fergusonyouth@gmail.com.
