The Union Gospel Mission Student Impact Center (SIC) is a place where “at risk” teens can go and feel safe. The SIC is open three days a week from after school until about 7:00pm. The SIC picks up middle and high school students up from school and brings them to the center. On a typical night, students get to the SIC and have time for homework or time to just chill and then students are fed a meal. One of interns will then give a “message” and then there is a time of reflection. When the night is over students are then dropped off at their homes.
