Teenagers in Little Rock are rolling up their sleeves and using a little elbow grease as they work to fix up an old building on 12th Street.
The building will one day serve as a young adult opportunity center for people between the ages of 16 and 24 who are unemployed or dropped out of school.
"A lot of youth walk by and they ask a lot of questions, and what are we working for and what are we doing and they seem real interested in getting in the program after they see we're doing something as positive as this," says program participant Lamont Neal.
They're hoping to have the building finished by 2013.
