A Safe Place to go: Northeast Kingdom Community Action
Northeast Kingdom Community Action provides a welcoming space and friendly faces to the young people of Newport, Vermont. It’s a safe place, free of the social pressures, drugs, and alcohol that are present and available even in small-town Vermont. The Teen Drop-In Center has become a popular destination for the community’s youth looking to hang out with friends after school, get the support services they need -- and of course, take advantage of the staff’s excellent cooking.
