The right program should be close enough to reach.
Transportation, distance, and unfamiliar settings can stop participation before it starts. That is why community-based delivery matters. Recreation centers, churches, schools, barbershops, and neighborhood organizations can become trusted doors to opportunity.

It is about reducing the barriers between a young person and the next opportunity.
