Plymouth Spotlight | Jahton

​
​We are proud to introduce one of our alumnus: Jahton. Jahton lived at Plymouth Crossroads for about 3 years. Throughout this transition, Jahton has been extremely helpful, assisting in our move out of 5522 Broadway and into our new storage unit and rental space at Ebenezer United Church of Christ. We asked him what brought him back to Plymouth Crossroads, and he told us that he appreciated the family atmosphere, relating it to a second support system. When asked what his favorite thing about Plymouth Crossroads is, Jahton replied, “the staff.”. Jahton wants everyone to know that runaway and homeless youth are not lazy. Jahton is currently applying to colleges across the country, wishing to continue his education, as well as creating music in his spare time. Jahton tells us that his favorite memory at Plymouth Crossroads was “creeping into Jenn’s office after work or school to hangout and talk. We talked about politics, religion, school and life. It was a really important part of my development because at that time I didn’t have many friends or other people to talk to.”.

"Plymouth to me means, a safe and welcoming second home where I can learn new things about life, and hangout with people who really care about me."

Quotes from the boys

"When I think of Plymouth I think of home. Why do I think of home? Well I think of home because not many people can just be homeless and have someone come and help them back on their feet and that's what Plymouth did. They took these young men in need of shelter and food and welcomed them in and helped them get on their feet for the first time. I also think of family and safety. Because without Plymouth I'm pretty sure none of us would be in the safest spot."
​Sam B.

"Plymouth is still family, nothing has changed. Plymouth handled all of their problems with dominance and always told their residence/other companies what they need to know instead of what they want to hear. Plymouth still continues to do so."
Steven W.
