Our Community Proposal Greenville is a small community located in mid-central Michigan. According to an article in the local newspaper, there are about one hundred homeless students that the public school advocates for (Ameling, 2011). There is a need in the community for free health care for these students. At the present time the public school funds medical needs for these students through the use of McKinney-Vento federal funds, local community donations, and a grant from the Greenville Area Community Foundation (Jeltsema, 2011). Our group proposal is to provide free health care to homeless students via a teen center. The McKinney-Vento funds can then be used for additional needs of the homeless students, like housing and perhaps repairing or preventing the reasons these students are homeless. .

Mission Statement The Yellow Jacket Hope Center for Teens is Dedicated to improving the health and well being of homeless and low income teens in the Greenville area. Our mission focuses on prevention, early treatment and health maintenance through the combination of physicians, nurses, dietitians, social workers and counselors.
