YSB is excited to have our first annual Safe Place Week design contest. The contest is
open to any youth ages 12-17 living in St Joseph County. One finalist will be selected
and the artwork will be on display at Youth Service Bureau, shared on the YSB website
and social media channels and made into stickers.

​

Create an original design that represents your “safe place” or what you would like your
“safe place” to look like.
