From CBC News Saskatoon–Promise Gordon likes having a plan.
It helped her break a cycle of running away from home.
Gordon, 19, joined Operation Runaway a few years ago. The program is run by Egadz, a youth centre in downtown Saskatoon, and connects chronic runaways with community supports and professionals. Participants talk about the good and bad of the past week, set goals and develop life plans.
“They hold you accountable if you, if you need to be held accountable,” Gordon said. “So that’s one of the main reasons why I like being with them. They just tell you straight up how it is.”
