Most homeless youngsters have quit school, and most will never return. However, as Margaret emphasises, efforts can be made and how he or she came to be in such a terrible position. "The sooner a teenager can be brought into contact with mainstream culture, the better the chance of getting him or her off the streets," says Margaret. Only through real contact with everyday people and situations can they be motivated to see more to life. This is what Second Chance pushes for.

Second Chance works with a network of social workers, street contacts, and shelter staff. These groups connect them with the youngsters. After that, it is up to Margaret and her colleagues to get to work and reach out to these youngsters that can feed up to 300 people.

I asked Margaret what happens when they fail to get a teenager headed in the right direction. "There is always tomorrow and we never stop trying," she replied with a determined smile.
