Bridges for Youth and Families will be presenting, “Runaway Reality,” an informational workshop for teens on Monday, November 30, 2009 from 6:00 - 7:30 PM in the Tompkins County Public Library’s BorgWarner Community Room.

“Runaway Reality” will provide students with an understanding of what being a runaway means, things to consider and alternatives before running away. Clips from the documentary, “My Own Four Walls,” which portrays homeless children and teens from their point of view, will also be shown.

This program is geared toward teens, but interested adults are welcome to attend. For more information about this workshop, please contact, Genevieve Labe at 607-275-0067. This event is co-sponsored by Bridges for Youth and Families and the Tompkins County Public Library
