"No Socks for Ivan" established a presence in the community in order to welcome all youth, but in particular marginalized youth, who might not otherwise become involved in their community. This benefited the community of Burlington by building social capital among its youth who demonstrated improved belonging to their community, many of whom went on to become program leaders and community volunteers. We are looking for responsible youth to help out with one of our many programs.
