It’s Part Two of our visit to Provo, Utah and we’re back with the youth of the Encircle Provo house. This week, you’ll meet the superheros who keep the Encircle home up and running, including an assistant program director who’s queering ballroom dance. Plus, listen to a special interview with Encircle BFFs and episode hosts, Peter and Maru, and sit in on a Youth Friendship Circle, a signature Encircle offering that puts the home’s motto, “No Sides, Only Love,” into action. We suggest listening to Part 1 of this episode first.
