In When You Were 15, adults from our community share their stories about how an adult made a difference to them when they were fifteen. Several stories from today’s young people prove that they, too, need caring adults. These real life stories show how even a small act of encouragement can make a big difference in a teen’s life.

By illustrating the profound positive impact that caring adults can have - and giving youth in the justice system the opportunity to voice the small but important ways adults can help them - we hope to inspire hundreds of people in our community to be a caring force in a young person’s life.
