From TMJ4 News – A community program hopes to inspire Milwaukee’s youth to make better decisions for their futures.
“They say it takes a village to raise a kid; it really does, and that’s how it is in VFZ,” said junior Jaylyn Henderson.
For high schoolers like Henderson, finding a positive outlet and support can be tough.
“If you keep forcing it, they’re not going to try to come to you. They’re not going to want to listen to you. They’re not going to want to do that. You have to let them guide themselves,” Henderson said.
Henderson credits the Violence Free Zone through the Milwaukee Christian Center with changing his life.
