The mistakes in screen-printing T-shirts sometimes mirror life’s mistakes. They’re a little crooked, sometimes blurry and often messy. So when the employees of Street2Life Print Shop botch a shirt, their bosses explain they need to work through those little mess-ups just like they’re pushing through the problems they’ve faced in their lives. “Here, they learn how to work through the mistakes and manage the mistakes and continue to chug along,” said Bruce Vlieger, one of two co-directors at Street2Life. “You don’t know what good print is until you’ve made a bad one,” said Bex Drake, the other co-director. Street2Life is a 4-year-old business developed by Denver’s Open Door Ministries to help people living on the streets transition to a productive life through job training.

The co-directors and employees use the phrase “street kids” even though some of the workers are well into their 40s when they come for job training.
