    A group of teens shares two couches and twice as many chairs arranged in a loose circle in the Washington Youth Center. A Mexican flag hangs on one wall. A list of handwritten guidelines--"Respect each other's opinion; Keep it confidential; No put downs; Help each other; Respect elders"--hangs on the other wall. It's Thursday afternoon and, in about a half-hour, the leadership class will start. Today is the last class that will be held in the cramped center. Although the teens wail in despair, it's not a final goodbye. The small building is only a temporary home for the youth center.
