It is a difficult thing to witness overwhelming challenges daily; to work toward a goal that is seemingly unreachable. Yet it can also be a moment of exhilaration to set yourself such a challenge. This struggle is being waged by youth that are seeking to stay in school, stay housed, and stay healthy. It’s the struggle of all the Niagara regional services to see that these youth win that fight. Success is not a given and too many of Niagara’s youth lose that battle every day.
The good news is that year by year, more youth are winning that fight.

The Niagara Star Singers, a showchoir consisting of ten teens from throughout the Niagara Region, put on a pair of fundraising concerts in support of the RAFT.
The concerts were held at the Courthouse ballroom in Niagara on the Lake. The concerts were a great success and The Niagara Star Singers donated $600 to the RAFT and also collected bags of toiletry items at the door.
