The Legacee Kares App was created for informational purposes to target youth based services and to empower underprivileged and/or homeless youth in NYC. The app is intended to be used as a tool to navigate services and resources with the simple click of a button. Legacee Kares gives a voice to those who may feel voiceless in a time of need.
Resources provided in conjunction with, but not limited to Department of Youth and Community Development, Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, AIDS Institute Youth Advisory Agency, and the LGBTQ Community programs for youth 16-24 years of age.
