On Saturday, November 14th, from 9:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. Third Level Crisis Intervention Center will sponsor a Scavenger Hunt to benefit Traverse City Area Public Schools’ Students in Transition Empowerment Program (STEP) and other Homeless Youth Initiative Collaborating Partners. STEP is a free program offered by Traverse City Area Public Schools that provides supportive education-related service to eligible students who have lost permanent housing due to foreclosure, eviction, or reasons related to economic hardship. The goal of the program is to ensure school stability, remove barriers to full participation in a student’s education, and support academic achievement while children are in residential transition.
Community members are invited to participate in the scavenger hunt in recognition of Homeless Awareness Week, November 15 – 21. Participants will be provided with a list of items that they must locate. Each item has a point value. Prizes will be given to the team with the most points at the end of the hunt and for the individual and team who raise the most money for the Homeless Youth Initiative.
Registration for the scavenger hunt is $25.00 per person or $100.00 for a team of four to six people. All proceeds raised will go to the Collaborating Partners of the Homeless Youth Initiative, which includes TCAPS’ STEP Program. Registration will be from 8:00 a.m. – 9:00 a.m. at Studio 7 Arts, 225 West Fourteenth Street.
The scavenger hunt will be held outside, please dress accordingly. Additional points can be earned by bringing in any of on the following suggested items:
