Services

Emergency Shelter

Drum-Circle-001Most of the youth we serve need a place to stay for less than two weeks. They are provided a home-like environment, sit-down meals, help with transportation to school and appointments, tutoring, and a variety of educational and fun activities, too. Mediation with family, referrals for counseling or medical care, clothing and personal items are provided as needed. These youth are often able to reunite with their families — with a new feeling of hope and a new knowledge of community resources to help them succeed long-term.

Transitional Housing

Some youth do not have a stable home to return to. Our goal is to allow these youth to stay as long as they need to, and to help them locate and transition to a new, healthy, permanent living situation.

Aftercare Services

Through Aftercare, we stay connected to past residents and continue to work with them in order to prevent future family disruption, providing continued access to our programs, activities, and referral services

Outreach Program

Youth do not have to be staying at the shelter to receive services. We offer day-time supervision after school and on weekends for kids who need a structured environment. We visit schools and offer our help to those who have a safe place to sleep, but may need other programs that we provide. Those services can include: Mentoring, Independent Living Classes, our Youth Education Program, and supervised activities.
