Larmar's timonyofbeing thank
ful for artis tic grounding has enabled
notice of attributes she did not know
she possessed. She simply conclude'S
that "being focused allows my crea
tive wellspimg to emerge in larger
capacity."
If western ociety bas taken 150
years to acknowledge photography
as an art form, 10 years is miniscule
for Yvonne Lamar's acceptance of
photography being in her genes.
"Photography was a sporadic
concentration, a hobby, rather than a
focused achievement," she said.
That' why I'm a longtime up
porter of a wonderful one-stop youth
program in New York City called
The Door: A Center for Al terna
tives. It's not just another place;
it's one place, with everything under
one roof.
"We do this because we're deal
ing with adolescents who cannot
integral systems effectively on their
behalf," says Program Director Juli
Glover.
At The Door, young people are
offered health ervic , mental
healthand ocial ervices, creative
arts,on- ite crisis intervention, and
legal services, as well as wor -
shops in arts, crafts, theater, dance,
and much more. In one afternoon,
a young person could take karate
lessons and then receive tutoring
in a number of subjects for his
GED.

OVER 200 YOUTH walk
through The Door every day. The
organization serve'S inner-city youth,
ages 12 to 21. This 19-year-old
program started with a volunteer
staff back in 1972, and has now
grown tremendously in effective
ness, reputation and geographic
reach. It's a model for numerous
social service centers throughout
the world, including Mexico,
Guatemala, Canada, the Virgin
Islands and etsewhere, In the U.S.,
some 20 communities are giving
the one-roof concept a try.
The Door is the largest com
prehensive service center for dis
advantaged young people in New
York Ci� and the nation. It works
to meet the physical, psychologi
cal, developmental and creative
needs of young people. The sup
portive, committed staff works
together, coordinating their serv
iCC'S to make its special approach
successful.
More importantly, the staffcre
ates a sense of community by es
tablishing communication and in
teraction among the young people
who want to improve themselves.
And with the dedicated staff's help,
they learn to respect themselves
and others--lcssons they are not
�ways able to get from�amily and
friends.
Every city needs to learn from
and develop a comprehensive pro
gram, like The Door, for its youth.
