Mission: “To provide a safe harbor for enhancing the lives of youth at risk.”
Programs:
The Life House Youth Center serves approximately 600 youth per year, providing a safe, adult-supervised place for kids (14 - 20 yrs) to socialize as well as to access basic needs such as food, basic health care, information/referral, independent living skills development and on-site supportive services. The Youth Center is the heartbeat of our organization. Youth Center staff “meet and greet” each youth daily, engaging high-risk kids in relationship-building and discussions on life goals and issues. As youth needs arise, connection to Life House supportive services begins quickly, and efficiently.
