Empowering North St. Louis Neighborhoods at the Northside Trap Run
Youth In Need’s Diversity Council—a committee of staff members dedicated to putting Youth In Need’s commitment to inclusivity into action for both the organization and the community at large—recently participated in the Northside Trap Run, hosted by Northside Community Housing, Inc.
The Northside Trap Run is one of the ways that Northside Community Housing, Inc. aims to provide resources, affordable housing and thriving community to North St. Louis, an area that has historically been underserved.
It was a great day filled with running, discussing our programs and connecting with our community in The Ville!
