The chapter is sponsoring an Arts and Ideas presentation entitled "The Struggles of Homeless Youth in Chicago" on October 14, 2009. Representatives and children from The Night Ministry will give a presentation about what it is like for kids to live in a shelter. They will share their personal stories of how they were treated by caretakers, and what they are doing to overcome their difficult experiences. In addition to the testimonials from the children, the adults will discuss their difficulties in raising money, keeping the children from running away, and the legal obstacles to running a homeless shelter.
