They have been working for the past five years to create a Youth and Adolescent Center devoted to young people ages 12-18 separate from its adult treatment programs. Keystone’s goal is to provide a safe place where teens can be themselves and get the tools they need to finish high school. The agency needs money to buy appliances for the kitchen, furniture, and technology for offices and therapy rooms, and a media center and computer lab. They also need recreational equipment and supplies for a “social hub” where current and former clients can participate in therapeutic and social activities that support sober living.
