Neighbors in Action: Crosswalk Teen Center | WKAR

It’s Wednesday and time for our Neighbors in Action segment, when Current State features people and organizations working to make Greater Lansing a better place. Today, we learn about Crosswalk Teen Center, a new after school and summer program for teens in the Charlotte area.

The Center is working to raise $10,000 for its operating costs with a GoFundMe campaign

Current State speaks with Rick Todd, executive director of Crosswalk, board member John Bailey, and youth participant Austin Blakney.
