The Enterprise Holdings Foundation recently donated $10,000 to Youth Diversion to support our work to help youth overcome challenges and mitigate the impact of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs). The donation we’ve received will support youth struggling with substance use and addiction concern as well as youth needing access to a safe, nurturing, available and present adult role model. It truly will change lives. We can’t thank the Enterprise Holdings Foundation enough for its support!
