Changed Lives, New FuturesJoin hosts Ben Musgrove and Christopher Light for this inspiring episode as they sit down with the team from Bald Ridge Lodge, a nonprofit group home transforming the lives of young men ages 12-21 in Forsyth County since 2008.​About Bald Ridge Lodge:Founded when community leaders saw a need for a boys' home in Forsyth County, Bald Ridge Lodge provides safe and stable support to young men removed from their homes due to abuse, neglect, and trauma. Led by Executive Director Angela Dikes, the organization operates a 12-bed group home, Independent Living Program, and Aftercare services.​The Impact:Without assistance, 20% of foster youth become homeless the day they age out, and only 11% of Georgia's foster children graduate high school.

Through counseling, mentoring, and community support, they're helping young men beat the odds and build better futures.​What We Discuss:- The founding story and 17-year journey- Programs helping young men heal and transition to adulthood- Success stories of former residents- Partnerships with DFCS and community organizations- How you can get involved as a mentor or donorGet Involved:Website: www.baldridgelodge.orgContact: (770) 887-4357Bald Ridge Lodge is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit.
