<p style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 16px;">
<span style="font-family: Cambria, Georgia, serif, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 14pt;">Hi Michigan Team,</span></p>
<p style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 16px;">
<br>
</p>
<p style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 16px;">
<span style="font-family: Cambria, Georgia, serif, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 14pt;">November is National Runaway Prevention Month </span><span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: Cambria, Georgia, serif, serif, EmojiFont;">(NRPM), spearheaded each year
by the National Runaway Safeline (NRS) and National Network for Youth (NN4Y).</span></p>
<p style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 16px;">
<br>
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"></span></p>

</p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 16px;">
<span style="font-family: Cambria, Georgia, serif, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 14pt;">The goals of NRPM are two-fold:</span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 16px;">
<span style="font-family: Cambria, Georgia, serif, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 14pt;"><br>
</span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 16px;">
<span style="font-family: Cambria, Georgia, serif, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 14pt;">-To raise awareness of the runaway and homeless youth crisis and the issues that these young people face</span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 16px;">
<span style="font-family: Cambria, Georgia, serif, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 14pt;">-To educate the public about solutions and the role they can play in ending youth homelessness</span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 16px;">
<br>
</p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 16px;">
<span style="font-family: Cambria, Georgia, serif, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 14pt;">Keep in mind that b</span><span style="font-family: Cambria, Georgia, serif, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 14pt;">etween 1.6 and 2.8 million youth run away in a year. If all
of these young people lived in one city, it would be the fifth largest city in the United States.</span></p>

</span></p>
<span style="font-family: Cambria, Georgia, serif, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 14pt;">The theme of NRPM 2017 is “Friends Helping Friends.” </span><span style="font-family: Cambria, Georgia, serif, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 14pt;">This theme is designed
to recognize the role key people play in the lives of at-risk youth. Our goal is to unite all communities together to help support youth as they navigate their world.</span></span><br style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 16px;">
