Five-Minute Interview

Founded in 1972, The Door is a youth-development agency serving 8,000 youths aged 12 to 21 each year with free, confidential services that include primary health care, prenatal care and health education, mental health counseling, legal services, GED, ESL and computer classes, career development, and recreational activities. It even provides daily meals, says Kate Guenther, director of development for the organization, who adds that often young people who come needing one service become involved in others.
