The A-list is working to establish a teen-run snack and apparel shop in Brooklyn Park, MN, that will provide jobs for underprivileged youth and serve as a location for positive after-school programs to promote education and personal growth. A 2008 study by the City of Brooklyn Park found that only 1 in 4 teens in the city is currently engaged in any type of after-school program. With your help, we can reverse this trend, provide new unprecedented opportunities for youth, and reduce juvenile crime.
