Pannavati came to Western North Carolina to meditate stumbled across a problem she couldn`t ignore. She saw many young people who were homeless and could sit on the sidelines no more. Pannavati started a youth center in downtown Hendersonville called Gen Y. It`s a place for older teens to hang out and to learn life skills. The center has an accredited high school, a crisis hotline, a thrift store and restaurant. To learn more about Gen Y and the shelter Pannavati runs for homeless youth visit www.myplacewnc.org.
