Michelle Clausius, Associate Director of Development & Communications at Covenant House Vancouver, sat down for an interview to discuss what programs the organization provides to youth living in poverty.

Covenant House is a place where each year roughly 700 kids living with poverty can go for food, clothing and shelter. In the interview, Clausius elaborates on how and why youths end up in poverty, and what is being done to give them another chance.
